It has been a long while since I last read this book, so it completely passed me by when I watched the show, but there is a strong parallel in the Mayfair Witches show from a scene that happens in Blackwood Farm.

In this scene, the ghost of Julien Mayfair reveals to Quinn Blackwood that he is his ancestor, and he reveals the manner of how it came to be.

TW for rape by deception bellow:

This is very similar to the show, when Deirdre thinks she’s having sex with the young man she met at the party…

But it was actually Cortland, wearing a mask and a costume.

I have to say that one of my favorite moments of the novel Lasher so far is Julien inviting Lasher to possess him as some sort of bargain chip.

You know, like it’s no big deal.

He gives such a strong opening to Lasher, too. He dreads it and thinks it’s gonna suck big time but he also makes the offer in the sluttiest possible way to entice Lasher, like:

And Lasher is soooo wary of him that Julien has to keep laying thick on it

Also big fan of how Lasher’s notions of gender are so backwards even for a man born in 1828

And him going like “You suck so much and this is gonna be awful but you can always make me come so hard I go blind like usual”? Big fan as well
