This is a sketch I did based on some lore covered in Brom's latest novel, Evil in Me. These subjects are meant to resemble the "unfinished people" Brom talks about in the book. In other words, characters like Beel. Don't know if I actually nailed this, but I think it looks cool anyway.

Book Review: 'Evil in Me' by Brom

But she’s been doing better lately, her probation is almost up, and she’s going to finally leave her rinky-dink town and head to Atlanta to start a band with her best friend, Tina. Then she finds an old ring and everything changes. Now she’s got an evil hitchhiker trying to get her to do awful things. The only thing…

Evil in Me by Brom
Ruby liked to tell anyone who cared, or didn't, that punk rock saved her soul.
Whoa, folks... Evil in Me really scratched the itch; totally quieted the horde in my head and took me on an extremely enjoyable, batshit crazy, folklore infused journey of Demons & Serial Killers & Punk Rock (Oh My!). Brom nails the tone, delivering a grotesquely creative tale of possession that embraces the chaos and humor within without ever ignoring the heavier themes.
I purposely went into this one (almost) completely blind. Because of that, it honestly took me a little while longer than it might've otherwise to fully get into the first act (though that opening chapter was brutal). And I maybe would've liked a little more closure at the very end. But ultimately, Evil in Me is right up my alley; a wildly bizarre, high-concept ride full of rebellious punk rock attitude, horrifying possession and monstrous mayhem.
Brom creates some nightmarishly weird characters, here. And as always, his artwork is stunning, making his characters work all the more effectively—Lord Sheelbeth is terrifying; Vutto is awesome. The storyline—which finds a troubled punk rocker possessed by an ancient ring, and the hellish demons that live within, fighting for freedom the only way she knows how, through music—works wonders, expertly blending its folkloric inspirations with the original narrative. Brom wholly understands Ruby, her struggle, and the soul-saving power of music, which in turn makes us wholly believe in the magic Ruby must make in order to free herself from these horrors.
And the way Brom implements the in-your-face power of punk rock (including original songs written for the book, and performed by The Maxines) and an oddball serial killer subplot to tie the narrative threads together and build toward a truly unpredictable, thematically affecting finale only makes it all feel even more tailor-made for me. What a wonderfully weird ride.
I'd found something that made life worth living again, something to look forward to, a reason to hang around this tired old turd of a planet just a while longer. It was called evil.
8.5/10

i drunkenly scheduled a friendly brawl with an acquaintance of mine and we both completely forgot about it. that is until we were sitting next to each other in class and both of us get google calendar alert that reads VIOLENCE AGAINST LEW i about lost my fucking mind. what do you mean violence against me.
and then i fucking remembered i completely shitfaced told him to send me an invite to the brawl and even more that i insisted to type something into the notes of the meeting to make it look "less worse" and he opens the invite and it just says PREMEDITATED. most sinister calendar event ever created i laughed so hard i cried
#in case you are keeping tabs on the rotating cast of my life#this is neither the gruff man nor the evil dog this is the guy who i accidentally asked if he wants to pay to be pegged#also someone recently told me to be less mean to him and i said 'oh please he wants me to be mean to him'#and he nodded very seriously#our relationship is. special.

Book Review: Evil in Me
Evil in Me is the first story I can think of where rock music was removing demonic possession instead of causing it.
Ruby Tucker is a troubled young woman on probation, struggling to keep it together. Her big escape is through punk rock music, and she has regrets about not following her best friend Tina out of their podunk Alabama town to start a band. Adding to her woes, she accidentally puts on a ring that renders her vulnerable to demon possession. Adventure follows as she tries to free her soul.
It was a fun story set in the 1980s and sprinkled with satanic panic that was actually justified for a change because there are actual demons involved. There are plenty of older adults warning kids about "that devil music" and the dangers of Dungeons & Dragons.
It had some dark humor that worked for me. There's an absurd drummer named Vutto that shouldn't work but would've been right at home in some 80s comedy with Andrew McCarthy or Steve Guttenberg.
A few things didn't work for me, mostly when the story left Ruby to follow side characters. One in particular bothered me because it was a redemption arc that went a little too meta with the character knowing it was a redemption arc. That cheapened the moment for me.
The other side character, a serial killer whose chapters marked a shift from a third- to first-person perspective, felt more out of place. His chapters weren't forced, but they felt like they were added retroactively as breadcrumbs so his part in the finale wouldn't come out of nowhere.
Still, it was a fun, quick read for spooky season. I enjoyed it.

im so serious if you cant imagine a single female character u like or you coincidentally only care about men or imagine that women are a different species of human that are impossible to draw or write about or relate to, You are the problem. its not because you’re gay it’s because you do not like women
#There is not a Feminist Quota about how the evil feminists are going to FORCE you to think about any media you like#but some of you guys are just fucking misogynistic im sorry.#anyone who thinks fugo is the most deep and interesting character in p5 but hates trish for being boring owes me genuine real life money
