Both Scorpions and The Sport of the Gods are set in Harlem, and in each novel this setting is integral to the plot. Myers, who grew up in Harlem during the 1940s and early '50s, has set many of his books in this community, and in some of these books, such as Fast Sam, Cool Clyde, and Stuff (1975), he has portrayed Harlem in a fairly positive light. In Scorpions, however, he provides a grittier and bleaker depiction of this place. The Harlem depicted in Scorpions is a decaying community where gang violence and drug trafficking are commonplace and where the hopes and dreams of many young people are dashed by the forces of poverty, prejudice, and lawlessness.
