Het beeld van het beest

Deze serie duikt in de duisterste diepten van de menselijke psyche en onderzoekt de mismaaktheid die schuilt onder de façade van de beschaving. De verhalen kenmerken zich door rauwe brutaliteit en een verontrustende weergave van het kwaad in zijn puurste vorm. Het is een reis naar de schaduwen die de grenzen van moraliteit en de aantrekkingskracht van het verbodene aftast. Lezers die houden van viscerale horror en psychologische thrillers zullen deze provocerende verhalen meeslepend vinden.

They named him "Sunhero" and worshipped him acoordingly. The secret rites were performed, and Stagg found himself setting out on a cross-country, orgiastic jaunt, with foot-high antlers throbbing on his head and endowed with the virility of a nation.

    In Philip José Farmer's incredible sequel to The Image of the Beast, Herald Childe continues what started as a murder case - a very gruesome one - but which has now become a struggle against the strange and deadly beings who have taken his wife, who threaten his manhood and threaten mankind itself. His seems a hopeless quest. He is fighting not people but inhuman, unhuman monsters from another universe. They take grotesque physical forms, they indulge cruel whims, and they are sex-mad. There is Vivienne, amazingly beautiful, who used to be Joan of Arc. But she has false teeth and she comes literally to pieces. Her lover is a snake-like horror whose needle teeth drip aphrodisiac venom. There is Count Igescu, a real live vampire. And these three are surrounded by a grisly crowd of bizarre aliens, characters in a science fiction nightmare. But for Childe there is to be no waking up: though no one else will believe him, he knows this is for real.
