The Sopaths
The Sopaths | Piers Anthony
1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
The most controversial work by New York Times–bestselling author Piers Anthony Killing children is an ugly business, but the alternative is so much uglier. Abner Slate just watched his five-year-old daughter, Olive, kill his wife and son. Olive is a sopath. Born without souls, sopaths are children who will lie, cheat, rape, and murder to get what they want. There’s one in every family these days, destroying America’s heartland from within. After murdering his daughter in self-defense, Abner is taken in by a secret network of sopath victims called Pariah. Through Pariah, he meets other sopath victims who band together to form a temporary nuclear family. But the sopath threat is getting worse, and soon their quaint little neighborhood is overrun by murderous, drug-running children. Now, on a mission for Pariah, Abner and his makeshift family must travel across the country to a mysterious town that contains a secret powerful enough to stop the sopath crisis. Instead, they find the most seductive and ruthless sopath of all. Her name is Autopsy, and she would like to add Abner to her slave collection. The old morality is dead. Now the sopaths will stalk the Earth.

The Sopaths | Piers Anthony
Bailedbailed

If I'm completely honest, this one absolutely sucked. I liked the concept - I'm all for creepy possessed children - but Piers Anthony clearly had another agenda. The plot fell flat by chapter 2, and his constant sexualization of a nine year old girl is enough to make your stomach roll. So awful I couldn't finish.
