- Comment: A horrific subject - and I am wondering if leaving it at ALT0 is enough to display that horror, or if we know our readers will find it horrific. The sources - products of their time - largely do not call out the novels' victimization of young boys. (NB: I only learned of these novels after buying a too-expensive copy of Boychick, not knowing it was a pederast at all - and disappointed that I didn't know, so I created the article.)
