Brimstone

AI Rating: 1/10 - "Brimstone" (2004), part of the Pendergast thriller series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, is a supernatural mystery focused on gruesome burnings tied to occult rituals, a reclusive billionaire, and FBI agent Pendergast's investigation. The narrative prioritizes fast-paced horror, plot twists, and gothic atmosphere over any political messaging. No progressive themes, social justice, identity politics, or diversity/inclusion agendas appear; characters are archetypal (mostly white males in law enforcement/wealthy elite roles) with zero emphasis on race, gender, or equity. Pure escapist storytelling.
