Pity the Beast

In Pity the Beast, Robin McLean crafts a dark and thought-provoking feminist Western that explores themes of sexual violence and vengeance against a backdrop that stretches from prehistory to the present. Drawing inspiration from literary greats like Cormac McCarthy and Joy Williams, the novel blends time, myth, and the perspectives of philosophical mules, challenging our assumptions about the West, masculinity, and storytelling itself. McLean invites readers to rethink their narratives and confront the complexities of good and evil in a world where the line between humanity and beastliness is increasingly blurred.
