Goodness me Barker is really something else. His bombastic, almost archaic style of writing at times is nevertheless brilliant, its proper literature applied to an often "trash" genre. And god, Barker really gets the horror of the flesh. Out of the 3 stories read so far, not 1 has been immune to some kind of excruciating physical agony. Its such sensous horror. Its brillant.
