Midian Unmade
Midian Unmade: Tales of Clive Barker's Nightbreed | Clive Barker, Del Howison, Joseph Nassise
7 posts | 3 to read
Clive Barker's Nightbreed has been controversial since the moment it was released in a version edited by the studio and roundly condemned by Barker, who wrote and directed the movie. A virtually instant cult film based on Barker's novella Cabal, it was nominated for three Saturn Awards and won several prizes at European film festivals. Midian Unmade tells the stories of the Nightbreed after the fall of their city, Midian. Driven from their homes, their friends and family members slain before their eyes, the monsters become a mostly-hidden diaspora. Some are hunted; others, hunters. Some seek refuge. Others want revenge. Contributors include: Karl Alexander, author of the classic novel Time After Time; actor, writer, and director Amber Benson (Tara Maclay on Buffy the Vampire Slayer); New York Times bestselling author Nancy Holder; Hugo and John W. Campbell Award winner Seanan McGuire; Bram Stoker Award winner Weston Ochse; David J. Schow, winner of the World Fantasy Award and writer of the screenplay for The Crow; New York Times bestselling writer Stephen Woodworth; and many more--23 stories in all. With an introduction by Clive Barker, this is an outstanding collection of original horror short stories in a dazzling variety of styles.

Struggling to finish this book because it‘s been half read for over a year now. Figured I‘d make myself while I‘ve got the time.

I‘m pretty disappointed though, nearly ever story features rape and I guess my vision of Nightbreed was quite different from the people in this book.

I actually started this one LAST October and lost track of the short stories somehow. So I‘m picking it up again where I left off now that the season for spooky reading is upon us again.

Happy full moon on Friday the 13th!! 💀

Picking this one up again after a bit of a hiatus. The only good thing about not getting a library card yet is that it forces me to pay attention to my own books.

Having trouble sleeping again so I pulled out this one for a few short stories.

This is from Clive Barker‘s intro to the collection:

“Our lives are scattered throughout with periods of unbelonging; in childhood, of course, and adolescence; but in adulthood too, when sudden loss (or gain) forces us to reassess things we believe immutable.”

I finally dismantled my Tower of Books and found the one on the bottom that I wanted to read. Sorting and purging did feel pretty good.

Gotta read this one soon now!!

You know what the real problem with having too many books is? It‘s not that you‘ll never be able to read them or whatnot.

It‘s that the book I want to read right now is at the very bottom of the stack BEHIND the stack I can actually see.

😭😭😅

LittleBug I‘ve had most of my books in boxes the last few years and only unpacked them in the last couple of months... my advise: reorganise!! It‘s healing😉 and it‘s so lovely to be able to just grab any book you want when your done🤩 6y
SkeletonKey @meghan2714 - Thanks!! I hand paint d the ones on the left, they‘re dark purple inside and black on the outside. 6y
SkeletonKey @LittleBug - Phew I‘d have to let go of a lot of books to get to that point! I‘m trying though, it‘s a good idea. 6y
LittleBug I‘m lucky, we finally moved into a house that has enough space for my books🤩 6y
