- My Clive Barker Page
- Clive was not my inspiration, but I read this excerpt from A-Z of Horror and I knew this explained what I was trying to say with this story.
- Gaijin.com
- This is where I snagged the jpg from. Go there. Read his work.

We fear death and dismemberment, we fear pain, insanity and loss, we even fear sexuality, and it's only by addressing these fears that we avoid living in a state of constant trepidation. Horror can speak of such things in a way that a more realistic or naturalistic genre can't.
Horror is a leap of faith and imagination in a world where the subconscious holds dominion; a call to enter a territory where no image or act is so damnable it cannot be explored, kissed and courted; finally - why whisper it? - embraced.
