Babel’s Children - I’ve got mixed feelings about that one. At first I found the premise quite stupid, but then after a bit of time I thought it was pretty interesting…. And quite true…. I obviously don’t want to give any spoilers, but I will say that I do agree. Better the frogs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Madonna - That was…. That was weird.
It began with basically a scumbag heading back to a deserted building to have sex with a naked 15 year old he’d found. At that point I was wondering if I really want to read this?
Thankfully it took a turn. An absolutely crazy turn. I can’t put into words what happened. Certainly not as eloquently as Barker. You’ll just have to read it . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Forbidden - Candyman is the movie that truly birthed my love for horror.
It wasn’t until I started reading when I was in my mid 20’s that I found out Candyman was based on a short story by Barker. I don’t know why it’s taken me until now to read it. Being honest I’m quite surprised at how much additional content the movie adds.
Did I like this short story? Yes.
Do I like the movie more? Definitely.

Okay okay Trevor I hate you so much I wish I could reach through my screen and smash your skull because why would you talk to Helen like that???? You were insufferable in the movie and even more telling of what a shit person you are in the book, but it just makes me love Helen even more uwu
