READ "The Crow: The Lazarus Heart" by Poppy Z. Brite. It has made it to my top five. Like violence, evil, corruption, deciet, are you as obessed with sex, death and mortality as I?? Do you like something that makes your cringe and wince at every word you read?? If you are that sorta guy or gal, then this soooo your kinda thing. This story (so far, as I am currently reading it for the first time) is about homosexual men, fantasy, rape, and lots, and lots, and lots and lots of blood and spilled intestines, all the gory sorta stuff, but don't be discouraged! Just because there's a lot of blood and guts and sex and the raising of the dead...it dosen't mean that this book is cheap! On the contrary, it has A LOT of depth and insight to life, people's sexuality, the outcasts of society, what it is to be alive, what it is to hide, and truly, I have yet to see evil demonstrated so successfully as in this novel. SO READ IT! ALL OF YOU!! AND THAT'S AN ORDER, NOT A REQUEST!!!
