Overview
"This thesis project is an excerpt from the novel in progress "Taming Flesh". With a blend of horror, paranormal, and fantasy genres, the goal of this novel is to provide an entertaining commentary on gender roles and toxic masculinity. In an alternate 1920s America, beef has been banned and is considered holy. It's also believed to be the source of monstrous transfigurations only experienced by men. Despite abstinence from beef, Hedon has developed a set of horns and his skin has turned red. Hedon believes the source of his devilish features are his actions, but he uses his role as breadwinner to justify his misdeeds. Hedon must decide if becoming a demon is really the right thing to do." -- Abstract
