A review by cheyene_218
Days Between Stations by Steve Erickson

1.0

Even though the intertwined stories were intriguing, I became fed up with all the rape and assault scenes, after which the women embraced the predator in a loving way. Lauren is at the center of multiple scenes like this and Janine also is the victim at the hands of Adolphe during the filming if the movie. Does Erickson think it's sexy or something? He writes them as if he doesn't realize that what's happening is completely non-consensual. In all instances, Lauren and and Janine are somehow completely unaware of their surroundings enough to not realize immediately that a penis is inside them. And this serves nothing to the plot. I stopped reading when again Michael just appears and starts having sex with Lauren but she doesn't realize what's happening. It's pretty gross and I don't recommend this book.
