This book is very funny, to me it's like the program Ugly Betty if everyone involved in the fashion industry was a vampire. If you haven't seen this program, it's about a girl with no fashion sense whatsoever, that works for a company that publishes a fashion magazine, where she doesn't fit in.
The first time I read this book, I though it was entertaining, however I myself are no fashion expert, I adore the Gothic/Alternative fashion so that would also make me a misfit in society like Ugly Betty.
I enjoyed reading this book, but I didn't always understand the fashion references, to certain fashion designers or styles of clothing or looks that have created. To be honest, I wish that there was a little less emphasis on that and more emphasis on the characters that the main character could relate to. Kate the main character and James have a least one thing common that they are both anti-fashion, due to all the models or anyone that's involved in the fashion industry looks the same.
They are all skinny, pale, dressed immaculately, and they all live on a liquid diet of human blood (described as red berry juice or a smoothie, since that's how Kate describes it in the book)It's human blood, because everyone she works with is a vampire.
Kate finds out, that there is something weird going on, while she is at work for her internship at Tasty magazine. Someone keeps staring at her, from behind the photocopier, her boss stares at her for long periods of time, all the staff sleep during the day, in their offices in secret. All of the staff seem to drink this red berry juice as is described by Kate in the but, it isn't a smoothie.
The best thing about this book is the humor, since Kate's mother was a fashion designer, it's a big deal to the staff at Tasty magazine. Although Kate doesn't want to be known as Eva's daughter, she wants to work on her own merit, and be recognized for her own work. I like the fact, that at least two of the characters in the book, are
anti-fashion, since not everyone will be a part of the industry, not everyone will fit in, due to the requirements.You have be petite, to be considered pretty, so all the staff members starve themselves, until, a dog is found dead in a supply cupboard. Kate finds out who is responsible and why. If you like reading paranormal romance or just books about vampires with a sense of humor then you will like this book.
I am obsessed with vampires so I will read any books about vampires as long as it's funny, or about the co-habitation of humans and supernatural creatures and the things that go wrong, in their daily lives.
If you like vampires then, I would recommend this book to you.
I love the franchise of videogames and I wish there was a graphic novel series of the games, or a series of books. I love the era of time it is set it, and the underwater city.
My review is for the eBook.
This book is written by Daniel “Danny Rolling” A.K.A the “Gainesville Ripper” he was the real-life inspiration for the Scream horror film franchise.
The book was written by Danny Rolling while he was incarcerated and collaborated with Sondra London.
He is a paranoid schizophrenic-he has visual & auditory hallucinations, due to experiencing trauma, from his abusive father, his psyche was fractured and split into several alters (alternative personalities that represent fragmented parts of Danny Rolling's fractured psyche)
He seemed quite charming and manipulative, feigning ignorance, during the writing process of this book, he seems like the type of person that would say or do anything to gain the sympathy of anyone that would listen to his sob story.
Nothing obviously excuses a parent(s) that are abusive, but Daniel Rolling is responsible for his own behaviour, attitude, poor impulse control, or the way he views or perceives women.
He glorifies rape, murder, robbery and expressed his love & feelings towards Sondra London during the writing of this book, which is a usual situation to be in to write & publish a true crime, real-life account of a serial killer's life, motivation, intention or purpose for their premeditated murderous plan.
I don't really believe the bogus demonic posession narrative that Danny Rolling expects people to automatically believe, so he can justify or excuse what he did.
Although disasosciation and DID-(Diasaociative Identity Disorder) would be believable since it is a real-life mental illness, it's not known as “split-personality anymore though.
Mental illness doesn't automatically mean anyone will automatically become violent, sadistoc, cruel or a murderer.
Danny Rolling is similar to Ted Bundy he was a peeping tom, a voyuer, a rapist, necrophile and a serial killer of women that he hated.
There are a lot of similarities between Danny Rolling and Ted Bundy, which is not something any man should ever feel proud about or boast about, it's not a good thing.
If your a man and you feel the same way about women, or act in a similar way to either serial killer, then go and see a therapist ASAP!
It really disgusted me how Danny Rolling kept referring to one of his female victims as a “little girl” or when he called her “daddies little girl” or a “good girl” for pleasing him sexually, while she is being raped several times and she was unable to defend herself or prevent it from happening or he would stab her to death.
I own a copy of this book out of curiosity, but I am not in any way associated with the church of satan or any cults that worship satan.
My opinion about religion, faith or spiritual belief is neutral I have my own beliefs that not everyone would share which is fine.
Everyone is entitled to their belief even if other people think that it is wrong or offensive.
I read some of this while I was at school, so people thought that I was some evil witch that sacrifices animals to satan which was funny because I was just curious. I never dabbled with the black arts, ouija boards, and normal spells or automatic writing I tried but nothing sinister ever happened, so I not going to conjure up something and offer my soul because i'm not stupid. I pledge no allegiance to either god or satan.
I believe in guardian angels and the afterlife or spiritual realm where the dead roam. I din't fully understand everything that Anton Levay is explaining about satanism, but this book wxpkains what satanism us and what satanisn is Not, otherwise you are considered a devil worshipper if you sacrifice children, virgins or animals to satan. In my opinion the main aspect of satanism is to oppose the hypocrisy of christianity or other relugions or peiple that have a speicific spirital belief that is different. Satanism is the “religion of the flesh” It is a self indulgent religion/belief system, that allows you to shamelessly indulge in carnal desires and to live your life with restictions, to do what is the best for yourself ir others so you can be the best version of yourself, that is not inhibited, or denied/punished for desires of the flesh for example or made to feel guitly for even having lustful thoughts or desires.It seems to me that there is more freedom within a religiius system of belief, when you aren't resticted, or beubg controlled or dictated what you should or shouldn't do and punishing people just because they want tobesexually active, is against the free will of hunanity, there are far more worse things people that arw religiiuys have done, but aren't punished for, such as molesting or raping children how is that “god's work” Satanism is a very misunderstood religion.
This book is about the Norwegian Black Metal music scene at the time, the Norwegian Black Metal band Mayhem, church burnings, the suicide of Dead & the murder of Euronymous (Oystein Aarseth)
I love the front & back covers this book has, it's a unique front/back book covers, that gets your attention.
I have seen the Lords of chaos film, Dead's suicide & the murder of Euronymous (Oystein Aarseth) was brutal, gory to watch.
The film in my opinion made Euronymous look like a weak, poser though, which I didn't really like.
It made Varg Vikernes seem a bit rapey, or abusive to women as well.
Some band members in Satanic Metal bands are a real Satanist but they don't sacrifice animals & people to Satan. it's a inaccurate portrayal of genuine Satanists since most Satanists are atheists, and they believe in demons the demonic divine. but maybe they don't believe in spirituality psychic abilities, spiritualism etc..
I was confused about the churches, if the churches that were brunt were originally a Norse Pagan Stave church, or if they were Christian churches that replaced the original Norse Pagan Stave churches and that's why Varg Vikernes hates Christianity, anything associated with it and burnt the churches. They originally wanted to instill fear in people by creating Norwegian Black Metal.
In my opinion the film, was good, it was entertaining, fun to watch at times, because i'm a metalhead, I always will be.
Mayhem is one of my favourite, Norwegian Black Metal bands.
I really love the aesthetic of Black Metal bands, the corpse paint makeup style that Dead originally created.
A lot of Satanic Black Metal/Black Metal bands in general use animals heads, blood when they are live on stage.
Death is part of their aesthetic, it's a theme in their music, they have the aesthetic look of death, they are the embodiment of death, or a corpse.
I can say with 100% certainty that as a metalhead I have intention to ever be the type of person that would desecrate graves, or to be a grave-robber & i'm not a necrophile.
I have no intention to be a “corpse-violator” just because i'm a metalhead, I love horror films & i'm interested in witchcraft.
For the metalheads that do commit these types of disturbing, horrific & disgusting crimes, their intentions are not always known.
I think a minority of people do it for attention, to seem edgy because they are disobeying the law, for the attention & respect of others.
It's attention-seeking behaviour for shock value, some people do it due to being bored, for others though their intention is more serious and sinister, they may practice black magick, or they might be a Satanist.
It's has a connection to black magick, Satanism in some aspects or Necromancy (Death Magick) a type of witchcraft that involves communication with the dead, summoning the dead for divination purposes, or asking a conjured/summoned spirit(s) to help you with a task.
Any crimes involving a Cemetery, unexplained motivation for the crime(s) is automatically sinister and should be taken seriously, because it's likely to happen again.
