Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

They took her innocence, stripped away the control she held over her own body, and reveled in the way she trembled beneath them. Their dominance was unrelenting. And they weren’t finished.

They wanted more.

They were obsessed with her sweetness, her purity her innocence.

But she doesn’t belong in their world. She’s not the kind of woman they should want. Yet, as the Blood Moon rises, and as dark secrets about her own hidden power unfold, Selene finds herself torn between the man-made world she’s always known and the dangerous, intoxicating world of the Triplet Alphas.
