Exquisite Corpse
Poppy Z. Brite | 1997 | Horror

Book Favorite

"Call it Extreme Southern Gothic, New Orleans division. The protagonists of this dark French Quarter novel are knee-deep in murder, torture, sex and cannibalism. The story is unabashedly grim (or as Brite himself puts it, “twisted, horrific”), but Brite’s prose is crystal clear, and his literate tone is sufficiently wry and ironic that it creates a sort of safety zone in which readers not normally drawn to this sort of stuff (myself included) can take refuge while they read. But even arm’s-length readers are apt to find themselves being drawn further and further into the story—seduced in spite of the themselves. Material that would be merely sick, disgusting, and unreadable in the hands of a lesser writer is, with Brite at the controls, surprisingly erotic and captivating. It’s a tour de force, in a literary category all by itself."

Right all you boardgame geeks!! I have a copy of the original The Gothic Game enroute. To add to this there is a prototype of the new version of the game on its way. The new game goes live on Kickstarter in December!! With this we will be playing and reviewing both and to add it on top we will be giving away a copy of the original game. Details will be given out over one of our videos of the games playthrough or review. Hit the links below and follow and subscribe to the channel to keep informed. It is our first give away and I am over the moon that I get to play this game in its ages goodness and then witness and play it’s rebirth into the world of gaming.

Number 6 of my #top10 #favourite #films is 'Perfume The Story Of A Murderer'.
------------------------------------------
#Perfume is such a #strange film, it extreamly long and almost feels like 3 separate films about the same character sewn together. Every time i watch it i feel absorbed by in this amazing #fairytale, maybe its the #magic, the #wonder and the sheer #beauty of it thats so intoxicating. Then theres the #violence, the #filth and the straight up #creepy but no matter how odd the film seems to get you cant help but be #mesmerized by it constantly. With such memorable characters, smashing dialog, huge well designed sets/costumes, great acting and an absolutely griping/highly satisfying story Perfume for me is an incredible hidden gem. If you like #fantasy, #gothic #horror, #serialkillers and #beautiful #perioddramas its a must see. ------------------------------------------------
