In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Black House is about as non-woke as you can ask from a modern supernatural thriller, solid storytelling, character-driven, and without any heavy-handed identity politics or revisionism. Consider this book a safe haven from the relentless wokeness of recent popular fiction.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Black House is primarily a supernatural thriller with well-developed, nuanced characters. Identity factors take a back seat to personality, motivation, and plot. There’s no sense that narrative is sacrificed for ideology, nor is there forced representation or “flawless” diverse leads.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book doesn’t go out of its way to undermine religion, family, or traditional values. It’s focused on horror and suspense rather than pushing cultural subversion. Reverence for, or criticism of, traditional roles or institutions is not a major theme.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Black House features complex worldviews, moral ambiguity, and a range of perspectives. There’s no detectable modern ideological monoculture, if anything, it’s refreshingly pluralistic for contemporary standards.
