BOOK REVIEWS!
BFGS (AKA BoyFistGirlSuck)
by Hertzan Chimera and Alex Severin
Reviewed by Mark Orr
Synthesis is the act, and sometimes the art, of taking two separate
things
or ideas, and melding them together to create a distinct third.
Literary
synthesis is widespread in much of the writing being done these days,
both
online and in traditional publishing. The phrase of the day
is `crossing
genres'. Paranormal mystery, romantic suspense, humorous fantasy.
Erotic horror.
In BFGS, Hertzan Chimera and Alex Severin have synthesized a
delightfully
gruesome series of brutally amorous stories. This collection is not
for
the faint of heart or mind, but if the reader has the stomach and the
balls to delve therein, the rewards are significant. Each of these
stories
is a carefully crafted fusion of love and death, fornication and
mutilation, sex and horror.
And they are stories, not merely gynecological examinations wrapped in
elements of fear and loathing or Penthouse letters filtered through
psychopathia. They actually have plots, often brilliantly conceived.
Nor
are the sexual and the horrific gratuitously grafted into the
storylines.
Rather, they are intrinsic to the whole that is, in each case, so much
more than the sum of its parts.
Chimera and Severin deftly play the reader, simultaneously tugging at
both
the viscera and the gonads, attracting and repelling with each tale,
involving the reader's lizard hindbrain intimately with characters far
more fully developed that the Sims who so often inhabit short stories
these days.
In the process, Chimera and Severin's individual talents merge into
seamless poetic prose that is reminiscent of the Marquis De Sade at
his
most extreme channeled through Jack Kerouac at his most obliquely
direct,
with one notable (and deliberate) exception. These are truly dangerous
visions, and if Ellison ever does compile the third volume of the
trilogy
of anthologies he began over thirty years ago, he could do much worse
than
to seek out these authors for inclusion.
The exception leads off the book, appropriately. KODA is a deranged
back
and forth exchange between Chimera and Severin, an explicitly
terrifying
experiment in ranking, a horrifically erotic game of dozens that is
the
place where the fusion begins. From that point on, the synthesis is
complete, and all that's left to do is enjoy the ride.
Or perhaps I should say the meal. BFGS is arranged like a menu, light
hors
d'oeuvres before, meaty main courses followed by fruity desserts of
appalling, and appealing, texture and taste.
Inherent in the concept of erotic horror is the compelling need of the
characters for sexual experiences beyond and apart from those lusts
inhabitants of any sane world would admit to having. It is this facet
of
the genre in which Chimera and Severin shine best, with an admittedly
dark
light. Their characters seek and find things in the night that
fulfill and
destroy them. They embrace both with equal fervor, to the delight of
any
reader brave enough to go where the citizens of these dark worlds
venture.
The titles alone are compelling enough; "Coat of Many Cunts",
"Star-Crossed Motherfuckers", "The Compelling Iridescence of Her
Flesh",
"Black is the New Black", "Boyfistgirlsuck" (from which the collection
takes its title). The stories are just as compelling, and repelling,
locking onto the mind and heart and colon like a tractor beam from
Hell.
This is not an easy book to read all at one sitting, not because it is
poorly done, but because it is so well written. BFGS has already
engendered a good deal of notoriety, because of the skill and passion
poured into these grotesquely sensual tales. Tiny minds that cannot
wrap
themselves around the lethal loving within will flee from it, but for
the
reader willing to expand his or her horizons beyond the norm, it will
challenge and delight. BFGS reminds one of something Oscar Wilde once
said, to the effect that the only obscene books are those that are
badly
written. By that standard, BFGS is not at all obscene. It is erotic,
and
horrifying, but if the reader is open to experiences outside of his
or her
comfort zone, BFGS will be a treasured reading experience.

FOR THE LOVE OF BLOOD
The Vampire, Bloodfetish & Necro Erotica Collection
by Alex Severin
Reviewed by Brutal Dreamer (AKA Peggy J. Shumante)
http://brutaldreamer.tripod.com
Not many readers and admirers of horror, have not heard of the
horror/erotica author, Alex Severin. Alex is quite extreme in her
pleasures of writing and telling a tale. She romances the dead, tears
out souls, until she is in scarlet bliss! Yes, Severin is a Vampire
novelist that others dare not encounter. She has no one else that can
rival against her, not even novelist, Anne Rice.
The labors of Severin's succulent, insatiable thirst for blood, and
its beauty, in its most raw and erotic form, leaves her fans with the
tangy taste oozing down their throats, long after the bloodletting is
through. She slowly, presses her lush lips next to the reader's
throat, arousing herself so. She lets that tongue dart back and forth
over your jugular and you are spellbound for more of her work. You
have been warned!
Alex Severin will be a name above all other Vampire authors, she will
raise the dead with her undying devotion to terrorizing the living
with her crimson liquid dreams and blood lust, her scarlet flavored
damnations, and her delicious taste of immortality. I say more power
to her and I hope to see Alex Severin, this Goddess of eternity
ascend above the cliché Vampire tales and have these vignettes reign
over them.
You can buy For the Love of Blood in e-book format for just $4.99

EXCLUSIVE PEEK!
excerpt from
TANTALUS
by Alex Severin
This is a short excerpt from a new story I wrote a week or so ago.
It's unpublished and is a total departure from the stuff I usually
write. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Shell.
Husk.
Vegetable.
They call me all of these things, as if, somehow, I am not
here any more, as if I, James, were somewhere else, out of earshot.
They all do it - my so-called friends, family and the army of
do-gooders that have sprang up around me like weeds and are just as
welcome.
But I am still alive inside this shell. I still inhabit this
husk they speak of.
My mind is pin-sharp - sharper than it ever was. My
remaining senses are keener. Sounds are crystal-clear and
amplified. My vision is 20/20. My sense of smell is like a
bloodhound.
And I can still feel. I feel each blow from their pity-
dripping words like a fist in my face. I can feel every moist-eyed
stare and sorrowful look, every resigned sigh. I wish I could rise
from this chair and slap all those looks off their faces.
They seem to think I am deaf and blind, treat me as though I
am retarded. That reminds me of a stupid thing we used to do to each
other as kids - hey, say this fast...
I
Am
We
Todd
Did
We would roll about on the ground in fits of laughter making
mongoloid noises at each other, bending our hands at the wrist and
clamping them to out chests, sticking out tongues into the lower left
of our lips.
But the only thing that has changed about me is that I am
unable to move, unable to communicate. I am still the same James
inside here, still the same man they all claim to love and respect so
damn much.
They are oblivious to the rage in my eyes. They can not see
the anger that oozes out of my every pore. I hate each and every one
of them for their blindness. If they would only look me in the eye,
they would see.
I'm not a baby!
I'm not an idiot!
Hello! I'm over here!
Fuck you!
I curse and rant at them from the confines of my skull, venom
dripping from the sharp point of my tongue but the only sounds I can
make are ridiculous guttural grunts. I remain silent now; an noise I
make only reinforces their assumption that I am brain dead and
magnifies the horror and the pity I can see reflected in their irises.
But there are fleeting moments when I am left alone and I
cherish them. They are few and far between but I am as happy as I
can ever be when I am here by myself.
Suzie always adored me and she's a permanent fixture in my
apartment now. I know she loves this, this situation. She adores
the fact that she is my keeper now, that she has to wash me and dress
me and change my catheter and my colostomy bag. She gets off on the
power that she has over me now. She enjoys it. She is glad that
this happened to me. She enjoys playing wife and mother and
nursemaid. This suits her just fine. And I hate her for it. And I
hate her for the things she does to me behind closed doors when there
is no audience to spectate her martyrdom...
