question about clive barker

[evilreign]

okay I know that clive barker is gay, and I have heard that his characters are very sexual. I am about to read some of his books, amd I need to know if the story is going to be interupted every 50 pages by a detailed description of a gay orgy(which I do not want to read). Can anyone help me here?

There are some gay sex scenes, but nothing like you're afraid of, I don't think. Anne Rice has WAY more gay sex in her books than Clive.

that doesnt really happen for a long time into his work .. often a hint of it as he goes along but no more than lets say .. peter strawb ..

[novakru]

There are many,MANY novels of his which has none (gay orgies)

barker's actually my favorite author

actually, i think hetero-fucking goes on just as much in his novels, if not more, than any gay-fucking.... :p

start with the books of blood, they are simply amazing....and along with The Damnation Game
and The Hellbound Heart are really the only things he's written that could be considered staight out horror, everything after that is really more dark fantasy than all horror. Just depends on what you want to read, he has a little something for everyone.

hmmm, thats interesting, I didnt know that peter straub would have gay sex scenes in his books.

I think In The Flesh was pretty straight out horror.

I haven't read any of his books but I'm game for gay or straight sex scenes. I just don't want to read about girl on girl.

Why not?

Well Ooky is a chick, so I'm sure it's for the same reason you don't want to read about guy on guy.

Oh, well that would make sence then.

personally i find that reading about sex bores me to tears and i skim through it.

i - like most guys are driven visually ... show me sex on screen and i'm interested.

give to me in a book and i couldnt be bothered.
i'm already thinking about it all day - no need to read about it.

:D, yeah I was just kidding, I dont really like to read about any kind either, It kind of bothers me that authors like stepehn king have so much of it in there. Every time I see one of those, I get this vision of stepehn king sweaty and hunched over his type writer. It disgusts me.

You just gave me a mental image of King whackin it with one hand while pecking at the keyboard with another.

Thanks alot for that...

:eek:
