In The Stain Rikki Ducornet tells the story of a young girl named Charlotte, branded with a furry birthmark in the shape of a dancing hare, regarded as the mark of Satan. "Sadistic nuns, scatology, butchered animals, monkish rapists, and Satan" as well as the village exorcist, inhabit this bawdy tale of perversion, power, possession, and the rape of innocence.
