Voices of the Damned

Posted on 25 April 2018 by Barbie Wilde

Damaged people, ultraviolence, murder and explicit sex what s not to love about her work Bad Barbie Featurette, Fangoria America s 1 Horror Magazine Enter into the mind of Barbie Wilde, whose disturbing interior world teems with the voices of rebellious female demons, devilish witches, semen hungry neo vampires, raging gods and home invaders, the fiends of sleep paralysis, pint sized store front preachers with a whiff of sulfur, body horrors of the most grotesque kind, clandestine aliens and Zulu zombies.These truly are the Voices of the Damned eleven short horror stories from Barbie Wilde, actress Hellbound Hellraiser II, Death Wish 3 and dark crime horror novelist The Venus Complex Fangoria has called Wilde one of the finest purveyors of erotically charged horror fiction around Each story is accompanied by seductive, haunting, full color artworks and illustrations created by some of the most imaginative artists in the genre Clive Barker, Nick Percival, Steve McGinnis, Daniele Serra, Eric Gross, Tara Bush, Vincent Sammy, Ben Baldwin.Editorial Reviews Publishers Weekly Starred Review In this impressive collection of short stories, actor Wilde who played the Female Cenobite in the film classic Hellbound Hellraiser II reveals a world of beautiful fear The most delightfully terrifying entries form the Cilicium Trilogy, which reveals the complex origin and destiny of Sister Cilice This character focused exploration is sensual in its brutality In Writer s Block, Wilde combines the psychological torture of an unknown artist with the erotic egotism of fandom to create a fascinating sexual horror She creates a dreadful family legacy in Botophobia, in which there are not merely skeletons in the closet but unworldly powers hidden in the basement Wilde s mastery of shocking violence is given full rein in subjects ranging from reclusive self imprisonment to the exploration of European nightmares As much a chilling collection of frightful fiction as a delight for the darker senses, this is a satisfying triumph in a befitting, unforgiving, style Violence, pitch black humour and yes, sex can be found in equal measure in her work, drawing complimentary comparisons to Clive Barker s early works in his seminal Books of Blood collections Ron McKenzie, writer Thoughts Scribbles, Rue Morgue and artist ronniemick at deviantart this collection of eleven short stories confirms Wilde as a foremost author of erotic horror fiction Jon Towlson, Starburst magazine and author of Subversive Horror Cinema Countercultural Messages of Films from Frankenstein to the Present her work is so uncanny and fearless, it is a must have for any horror aficionado filmmakers The Soska Sisters Wilde is never one to shy away from verbose analysis of carnal pleasure, and in Voices of the Damned she certainly sets the bar high with regards to steamy, gory terror Colin McCracken, Zombie Hamster Raised from the dead, this phantasmagoria of tales offers well written mini nightmares that will traumatize, titillate, and stick in your mind long after you ve closed the book Filmmaker Izzy Lee, Fangoria Online Reading Barbie Wilde has given me pervature of the spine My
