Lord of Dark Places is a novel by Hal Bennett.

It deals with the events surrounding a black man from the American South who moves to the north.

It has been described as "a satirical and all but scatological attack on the phallic myth", :[1] Then one day, Joe woke up and decided to cut his dick off, he was just that disgusted with himself, man!

He'd been here in the North for five years, and he hadn't done a damn thing but fuck and get sucked!

Reverend Cobb was supposed to be hiding up here in the North somewhere, people said.
