Ultimate fetish to the extreme (not for minors)

I was on my way to get the new LKHamilton ABVH book when my friend told me I may like this book. Ok, its an anthology and hey... Neil Gaiman is here. So I read the back of the book and considering i have  a taste of mystery,occult and the supernatural in literatures i said, heck, i'll buy this one too. Anyway, i have heard about Clive Barker and his Hellraiser but i never actually watched the movie. Maybe i did when i was a kid, i do remember watching the T.V with pinhead in it and some girl being chased by cars.

So reading through the book, I first found out that Mr.Gaiman was a journalist in his early years. So say in the forward of the book written by Mr.Barker himself. He narrated how he made the movie Hellraiser and the famous Pinhead.

Now on to the book. There are some stories that are confusing, i simply do not understand or just plane ... grusome for me. If this were a movie i would have walked out from the movie house already or turned off the T.V and gave my dvd to friends who are into human mutilations. I am into BDSM but i am not into gore, my limits are no slicing no blood. Some people would want to watch other people mutilate other people like the movie SAW, Wrong Turn, Hostel and whatever grusome movies there is out there. Ok... now imagine those movie having sex in it. That is exactly what this book has. The ultimate sex and pain that extreme Saddist and Masochists love to experience. Well for the norms they would call them Pyschopaths.

Mostly the stories revolved around one theme, the Cenobites. The beings from hell who comes into your world when you manage to complete the lemarchad configuration. These Cenobites aren't genes. They like to torment you with pain and sex feeding into your most desire fetishes. They remind me of the Vadecs, demons who posses writers into writing them and making them real in our world. In this case, the Cenobites possed Lemarchad a toy maker into building these puzzles that could summon them into our world and then take you into thier world of pain and sex.

I actually like the book, but i won't be watching any hellraiser movies, i can read gorey books, hell i read a book about an old woman eating children, what's a book about mutilations different to that. But i don't watch them on screen, i might end up loosing what i just ate.  Maybe if they will turn it into anime i would watch, but not live action.

NEVERWHERE

I have been a fan of Neil Gaiman for quite sometime now. Everybody knows his the creator of the The Endless Siblings and of Dream and his sexy lovely sister Death. In this book of his titled "NEVERWHERE". Its like Alice meets Dorothy. Enter Richard Mayhew, ordinary office man in london who has a fiance which only thinks for herself and for her sucess. One day Richard saved a mysterious girl which it changed his life completely. Now why do some reviews say that NEVERWHERE is like Alice in Wonderland with NG style. First its because Door the mysterious girl is like the white rabbit whom Richard found and followed through out the story. The London Below setting is more like Wonderland because it is inhabited by interesting incentrict people, being the Earl's Court as the white queen and Ishlington as the red queen.. "OFF WITH THIER HEAD". Mr. Croup and Mr. Valdimore could be Twildy and Twildum. LOL. Now why Dorothy in wizard of OZ. It's because Richard seems to be lost in the city underneath London which looks like a complete different world. In his quest to find his way home, he and door and hunter and the Marque de Carabas.. took up a task from Inshlington. so its like the angel is the wizard and Richard and his friends are like dorothy and the lion the scarecrow and the tin man. Besides in the book there are joke lines such as.. "yes and he can give u a brain and me a heart." lol

So anyway, the book is interesting. I had this book since last year but I just set it aside coz I proiritized in reading my paranormal porn books first. Especially if there's a new LKHamilton book out in the market. Going back to the book, as I read its pages, it tells you about friendship, accepting your life and what life is offering you and sacrificing everything for something you most want to do. The book doesn't really makes sense but in a context makes sense. lol now i'm the one who is not making sense. Anyway... just like any NG novels this is interesting and quite amusing. Also like any novels of NG, NEVERWHERE also have a graphic novel version. There is a TV series already aired in BBC back in 1996 and the DVD is out aswell. But in NG's twitter account he has mentioned that a movie of NEVERWHERE is in planning along with his other books.
