Barbie Wilde’s incredible collection VOICES OF THE DAMNED which garnered a Starred Review from Publishers Weekly will be out of print the end of October. So this is your very last chance to grab yourself a copy!
Here’s Publishers Weekly’s 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."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The book has gorgeous cover art by the one and only Clive Barker and beautiful interior illustrations by Clive Barker, and also by Nick Percival, Steve McGinnis, Daniele Serra, Eric Gross, Tara Bush, Vincent Sammy, and Ben Baldwin.
It also features a Foreword by former Editor in Chief of Fangoria, Chris Alexander, and an Afterword by the Soska Sisters.
As this is the last month the book will be available we’ve had some special Deluxe Hardcover editions printed which have a premium matte ink full colour interior. We’ve also discounted the prices for all editions purchased directly from SST as a little bonus for you.
Grab your copy before the book is gone forever:
