This was good but why did the two female characters have to be pitted against each other for a guy....no. 3.5⭐️

I am going to be honest; I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. As my first dip into the horror genre, I was not disappointed. Clive Barker wrote a good story about revenge, unfaithfulness, and what happens when you do not know what you're doing. It was Gorey, dreadful, and a good first for me. Warning, if the description of body parts and dismemberment make you squeamish, this book won't be for you. If you can get past that, you'll read a bittersweet story.

spectracommunist's review against another edition
5.0
An unfulfilled longing for more sensual pleasure ... a heightened pleasure that's indistinguishable from pain, an eternity of torture and the deliverers - some extremely pierced sexless aliens. Amazing! A fleeting clutch of obsession leading to sadomasochism and murder.
No questions it's being turned into several adaptations due to its high originality, the author himself directed the first part - which famously makes the list of top horror movies of all time.
I've thought that this is quite scientifically and emotionally possible, maybe a way of life, unfortunately. True masterpiece!
