| The Behemoth | comment |
A supernatural fiction novel written by Cameron Summers and released on kindle in early 2015. The Behemoth is the story of Roger Harding, a librarian in a university library whose best friend (and the object of a long-standing crush) is ritualistically murdered. He is drawn into an informal investigation of this incident, and a subsequent revenge plot.This incident also released into the world a strange parasite that takes up residence in his skin, giving him a connection to the murderer, increased resilience, and an ability to perceive the parasite's home dimension, a strange otherworld that the murderer seeks entry into and mastery over.Can be bought from Amazon, and the author is answering questions on his website. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Elly can be considered a deconstruction of this for Roger. Their relationship has some MPDG qualities, but they're the result of him projecting them on to it over years of friendship, and he's unable to move from putting her on a pedestal to actually trying to have a relationship with her. Elly, for her part, has a great deal of affection for Roger, but considers them to be Just Friends. | |
