The Black Parade | comment |
The Black Parade is a 2013 urban fantasy/paranormal novel by Kyoko M.Jordan Amador. 21. New Yorker. Waitress. Mild alcoholic. Murderer.Two years ago, Jordan accidentally shot and killed a Seer: a person who can see, hear, and talk to ghosts with unfinished business. Her crime came with a hefty price, too. She has two years to help a hundred souls cross over to the afterlife or her soul is bound for hell. Tough break.As if that weren't bad enough, two days before her deadline a handsome pain-in-the-ass poltergeist named Michael strolls into her life. His soul is the key to her salvation, but the cost just might be more than she can handle. Solving his death puts her right in the crosshairs of Belial: a vain, bloodthirsty archdemon who won't rest until she's his slave. Can she rescue Michael and save her own soul, or will they both be dragged down into the clutches of the eternal black parade?Not to be confused with the My Chemical Romance album, although that is where the novel draws its inspiration and title. The novel also roughly bases its mythology after John Milton's Paradise Lost, which is why it is separated into three "books"—Book One, The Black Parade; Book Two, In Medias Res; Book Three, The Beautiful Descent.The Black Parade has two sequel novels as well as a short story collection and a novella. The short story collection called The Deadly Seven. It takes place In Medias Res of The Black Parade in the two month period between Chapters 15 and 16, where Jordan and Michael are getting accustomed to each other as he protects her from various demons and settles in to his new human life. The included tropes are below. There is also a novella called Back to Black that takes place between She Who Fights Monsters and The Holy Dark, telling the tale of how Jordan met the Seer Myra Bennett.The second novel is entitled She Who Fights Monsters and was released July 22, 2014. Its tropes are below as well.The third novel is entitled The Holy Dark (after a lyric from Leonard Cole's "Hallelujah") and was released April 24, 2015. There are a couple of excerpts from the first two chapters available to preview. Its tropes are below as well.There are interviews with the author here, here, and here.Spoilers ahead. | |

The Black Parade / int_1892d512 | comment |
Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Michael, but it's played mostly for laughs. One woman calls him "Brad Pitt." Jordan's coworkers have dubbed him "the underwear model," much to his exasperation. Brick Joke: Michael's ringtone on Jordan's phone is "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred as a jab at the fact that everyone thinks he's a supermodel. Apparently, six different women ask him to dance while he's at a club with Lauren and Jordan in "Greed." | |

Power at a Price | |
The Black Parade / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: Drinking Belial's blood allows Jordan the ability to have super-strength, agility, and a way to sense other humans and demons around her, but it also amplifies her worst qualities, making her vindictive, selfish, violent, and cold-hearted, and her body can't cope with the stress of such amazing feats once the blood wears off. If Belial hadn't healed her afterward, she would have lost the use of her right arm. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
The Black Parade / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Belial has a lot of personality traits similar to a modern day vampire, which comes to a head when Jordan brings him to Michael's apartment for research purposes. Michael lampshades his method of getting Jordan back after their big fight: | |

Hidden Depths: Michael. He shows signs of being a bit of a geek (owning a Play Station 3, referencing an anime trope and comic book characters, binge-watching Breaking Bad, reading Neil Gaiman) and isn't quite as unflappable as he first appears. He can actually get a bit flustered when Jordan directly flirts with him (Sloth II) or teases him (Lust II) and is utterly mortified when he has a sex dream about her (Lust III). | |

Black Gal on White Guy Drama: Continues from the first novel, but this time with Jordan's father, Lewis, who is wholly unsupportive of the relationship until the very end of the book. Jordan also mentions that Michael told her he occasionally gets dirty looks from black men when the two of them go out on dates. She admits to not caring in the slightest. | |

Jordan learns that Zora, the Seer who was married Uriel but was secretly Belial's servant, was banished to Purgatory as her soul was mated to Uriel, but her betrayal was such a great sin that she couldn't be allowed into Heaven after she died. There is also a void between Heaven, Hell, and Earth where souls pass through that Jordan wakes up in when Mulciber strangles her to a near-death state. | |

The Black Parade / int_44e64e96 | comment |
Female Gaze: Jordan tries her absolute damnedest not to notice how attractive Michael is, but she can't resist checking him out a few times when he's not paying attention. | |

Angel Unaware: Michael. After securing the Spear, Belial essentially erased him from history entirely, causing a borderline Alternate Universe until Michael and Gabriel meet again face-to-face. Gabriel's recognition undoes the spell and they're able to figure things out from there. | |

Our Angels Are Different: The angels only have two rules: one, to protect and serve mankind; two, do not reveal themselves to normal people. Furthermore, all angels are sterile to prevent the birth of nephilim.

Human-Demon Hybrid: Juliana Freitas.

However, she's so young that she doesn't know about any of it, much less can use any of her abilities yet. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: It’s implied that Belial might have been in love with Zora, or at the very least had real affection towards her. His relationship with Jordan is played the same way with no real answer one way or another. Lamont Brooks' daughter Bridgett takes it quite personal that Jordan shot her father and then got him arrested. | |

Canine Companion: Myra doesn't go anywhere without Ace, her "pet" hellhound. The story is briefly mentioned, but Myra found him hurt after a vicious dog-fighting match the local demons had thrown, fixed his leg, and he decided to stick with her through thick and thin. It should be noted that he hates everyone but her, even Jordan, whom he seems to tolerate. | |

Abhorrent Admirer: Jordan’s “strumpet” persona attracts the attention of the lead demon’s lieutenant, Dustin. The first night they interact, he slits a demon’s throat and then nearly initiates sex with her afterward, while still soaked in the dead demon’s blood. Brr. And after he finds out she's a double agent, so to speak, he casually tells her that without him putting in a good word for her with Maurice, she'd be turned into a sex slave. His counter-offer is that if she cooperates, he'll only turn her into his personal sex slave instead and then dump her off to Belial once he's had his fun. Stand up guy, that Dustin. | |

Jordan's paranoia got the better of her after Gabriel's murder, so she did the first thing that came to mind in order to keep from losing Michael or any of her friends as well. Thankfully, Michael is able to metaphorically smack some sense into her afterward and she apologizes for what she's put him through. | |

Bodyguard Crush | |
The Black Parade / int_96f6335d | comment |
Bodyguard Crush: Michael explains that his reason for becoming Jordan's bodyguard is that he owes her for her sacrifice to restore his life, but that's not quite the whole story as their friendship continues. It's clear that he has some sort of feelings for her at that point, but neither of them have figured it out just yet so they leave the issue be. | |

Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny: Belial is hanging out in Jordan’s subconscious, trying to tempt her into giving into her sexual needs, as she’s now emotionally vulnerable from the recent break up with Michael and also under extreme stress from trying to infiltrate the demon’s nest. As usual, Jordan resists, but it’s clear that with every dream, he gets closer to wearing her down, although eventually she gets a handle on it and finally rebuffs him. | |

Fate Worse than Death: Gabriel wasn't just killed by the Judas dagger. His soul was sent to Hell, and he is subjected to torture from all its patrons for what amounts to an entire month. | |

Loophole Abuse: Discussed in different sins. Michael threatening to torture a human hitman on the grounds that it's "avenging" the angels he tried to murder or allowing physical intimacy (albeit non-sexual) with Jordan because "there was nothing in the rules that said I couldn't." | |

Anti-Hero: Jordan steps firmly into this role for this mission, as she is doing illegal things like killing and transporting drugs to get in good with the demons’ nest and later bring them down. She’s in the middle of a downward spiral, which makes it easier for her to slip into this behavior, and without her husband or Gabriel, she slides right into the trope. | |

Heroic Willpower | |
The Black Parade / int_c696f3ba | comment |
Heroic Willpower: Played with. When Jordan almost initiates sex with him while on demon blood, Belial just barely manages to resist the urge to sleep with her or give her more of his blood, as demon blood is highly addictive and turns the person who drinks it into the worse version of him or herself. It's one of the handful of truly decent things Belial's ever done in the series. Belial warns Jordan that as soon as they crossover into Hell, he will be so utterly beautiful and powerful that she won't be able to resist him and he will be compelled to convince her to give him her soul. Once they arrive, it goes exactly as he said it would, with him easily seducing her. It's ambiguous as to whether or not Jordan's willpower would have been enough to resist had she not seen Michael a second later. Seeing him snaps her out of it and she's able to get back to herself. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Black Parade / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In keeping with the other books (and the fact that the author is One of Us), plenty of them. One to The Colbert Report when Michael calls the hellbear a “godless killing machine.” Jordan tells Belial Michael is her "smizmar." While revealing facts about herself, Jordan mentions having a crush on Harry Dresden. Allison apparently set Jordan's ringtone to "Trinity Titoli", the song that plays over the last scene of Django Unchained. Jordan's narration mentions Two Best Friends Play's episode of Man versus Wild when she is forced to go hiking for one of the Judas coins. Ace is named after Ace the Bathound from the Batman comics as well as Batman Beyond. One of the demons who comes for the contract on Belial calls himself, Balrog. Avriel quotes "Oedipus Rex" while taking down one of the necromancers. Jordan mentions The A-Team and Star Wars (particularly the Storm Troopers) when noting the necromancer's poor aim. Jordan tries to tempt Michael into doing the "Are you pondering what I'm pondering" line from Pinky and the Brain. She calls him an "uncultured swine" in her head for not playing along. Myra makes fun of Jordan and Michael for having a little tryst in their hotel room by saying, "Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus." As Myra tries to pry about Jordan and Michael's relationship, Jordan calls her Quagmire, to which she replies with, "Giggity." After Belial kidnaps her and doses her with sodium thiopental, Jordan has this to say: "Why did you drug me? Trying to get me to admit how you make me go sploosh in my panties?" | |

Rage Breaking Point: Jordan finally loses it when Belial admits that her life (and her marriage) is nothing but a game to him, and she just straight up assaults him. It's quite rare considering Jordan is often the Pragmatic Hero in regards to fighting demons, and a final sign that she's gone off the deep end into the darker parts of herself. | |

The Nicknamer: Jordan ends up calling Belial “Bels” (pronounced like “bells”) just to annoy him and as payback for always calling her "my pet." Myra calls Michael "angel food cake" (sort of a loose reference to him being Eye Candy), to his endless exasperation. It's implied she doesn't respect him because of what she knows about him from Jordan's stories, and once he's earned her respect after rescuing Gabriel from Hell, she calls him by his name. | |

Andrew does as well. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Played with, as Michael (while human/poltergeist) has some bad boy charm to him and Jordan likes him more than she's willing to admit, but once he gets his body back, he's much more responsible and level-headed. It's ultimately averted with Belial, who manages to tempt her, but fails in winning her soul. | |

Inspector Javert: Subverted. Jordan accidentally acquires one while being a courier for Maurice’s drug operation. However, it appears as if Detective Hughes has good intentions and is just doing his job rather than having a vendetta against Jordan. He even lets her off the hook with a warning. | |

Great Offscreen War | |
The Black Parade / int_f722f635 | comment |
Great Offscreen War: Two of them, that Jordan knows about: one, the rebellion in heaven and Lucifer's fall from grace, which are mentioned in the series to have taken place similarly to how John Milton recounted it in Paradise Lost; two, the battle with the false angel begins and Jordan holds her own for a while before Mulciber comes after her and nearly kills her. When she wakes, the battle is still going on, but she misses Mulciber and Michael's fight that caused him to capture her by the time he revives Jordan from near-death. | |

Big Sister Instinct: Jordan answers Michael's cell phone when he's away and finds a scared Allison in mid-panic attack on the other line. She has no idea who she is to him, but she immediately helps calm her down and promises Michael will call her later. This later develops into a mother-daughter relationship as five years after the main events of the book, Michael and Jordan have adopted Allison. Myra is gruff and very snarky, but it's clear she's become protective of Jordan over the course of their partnership and friendship. | |

Running Gag | |
The Black Parade / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Belial invokes a couple. First, whenever Jordan or Michael tells him to bite them, he asks, “Is that a request or a command?” Second, whenever Jordan says, “I hate you,” he simply replies, “I know.” The ringtone gag between Jordan and Michael continues. Hers is "Fascinating New Thing (FNT)" by Semisonic and his is "Big Bad Handsome Man" by Imelda May. Belial also joins in this time, and his ringtone for Jordan is "I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters. Jordan is deeply unamused when she finds out about the latter. | |

Theme Naming: Like The Black Parade, The Holy Dark takes its name from a song lyric, particularly from Leonard Cole's famous "Hallelujah": "There was a time you'd let me know what's real and going on below, but now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you; the holy dark was moving too, and every breath we drew was hallelujah..." | |
