Doesn't just break taboos, but shatters them!By David DubrowTherersquo;s a temptation to treat Barbie Wildersquo;s anthology Voices of the Damned in one of two ways: the first as a horror fan looking to curry favor, or the second as someone looking to prove that hersquo;s not impressed by Wildersquo;s iconic status in the horror genre.I wonrsquo;t do either, because Voices of the Damned deserves better. This is an extraordinary collection that doesnrsquo;t just break taboos, but shatters them and dances with stiletto heels upon the mewling, agonized pieces. Wilde explores a breadth of themes that go beyond the standard tropes of sex and death, of torment and delight, of holiness and profanity, taking us to new, disturbing realms of imagination that we havenrsquo;t seen since Clive Barkerrsquo;s visionary Books of Blood. Her unique blend of dry humor and graphic description will have you smiling in one sentence and holding down your gorge in the next.In her Sister Cilice stories, Sister Cilice, The Cilicium Pandoric, and The Cilicium Rebellion, Wilde takes control of the character she portrayed in Hellraiser, making the female Cenobite her own person with a past, present, and terrible future. When does devotion become masochism, agony transform to orgasm? And what happens after, when desires are sated?The zombie theme gets a disgusting workout in Zulu Zombies, with an introductory scene that very few writers would have the courage to relate. Itrsquo;s fun, a bit campy, and just different enough to make you realize that therersquo;s (un)life in the zombie genre yet.American Mutant tackles evangelist Christianity, Americarsquo;s deep south, and family. It relies on clicheacute; for laughs, and as a send-up of religious yokels below the Mason-Dixon line, wersquo;ve seen it before.The Alpdrucke and Gaia are the workhorses of the collection, serving up non-standard horrors that keep you turning the pages without making you work too hard.Valeska made up for that with a bizarre conceit that Wilde cleverly manages to keep from descending into pornography through deft characterization and the shattering of expectations. Some vampires are Sanguines, and they drink blood. Others are Seminals, and they drinkhellip;well, yoursquo;ll figure it out.Polyp was hysterically funny, with a deep core of horror that doesnrsquo;t leave you alone when the storyrsquo;s over. Botophobia takes you first one way, then another, then kidnaps you and hauls you to a disquieting place you didnrsquo;t see coming.The life of a horror writer with the attendant social media BS, personal marketing, and convention attendance gets a hilarious treatment in Writerrsquo;s Block. If yoursquo;ve ever wanted to know what the writerrsquo;s life is really like (sort of), including encounters with crazed fans in hotels, this is your story.The praise for this collection from horror luminaries like Doug Bradley, The Soska Sisters, and Jonathan Maberry isnrsquo;t overstated. Inside, yoursquo;ll find things to bite you, kiss you, andhellip;and do other things. Whatever happens to our beloved horror genre in the coming years, Barbie Wildersquo;s already put her mark upon it, and the news is both enticing and terrifying.(Review originally published at The Slaughtered Bird: [...]1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Go, Barbie, GoBy Kindle Customerthoroughly enjoyed this collection of short stories which range from straight up horror to sci-fi horror. I will admit I read the Sister Cilise stories first, as I am a big Hellraiser fan.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Them Damned Voices...i can't get them outta my head!!!!By d.j.doyleThese are the words I would use to describe this book: Vile, disgusting, gory, depraved, immoral, horrid, offensive, perverted, nauseating, vulgar and... I LOVED IT!! If you love gruesome horror, this is the book for you. All fans of Hellraiser will be well acquainted with some of the characters. These stories can turn you on one minute and turn your stomach the next. "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. Publishers Weekly Starred :nbsp;"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.
