I want people to get the impression that there's this great gallery of characters and you're not seeing them all; almost a sense of frustration that you're not seeing it all, like the cantina sequence in Star Wars the first time you see it.
Domingo De Ybarrondo is one of the most beautiful names I've ever heard, and it is written on a gravestone with no information whatsoever.No wonder, if he had indeed been the monster who had shattered and violated and shredded so many others’ lives. In the first sequence, Rachel's shapeshifting is used to enter the cell block (as in the movie) while, in the second, during the drive the deleted text describes Babette showing Lori the scenes of the Breed's historical persecution at the hands of humanity that, in the movie, happens earlier, when Lori wakes in the skull chamber. The genius squandered on devices designed only to torture or cremate; the saviours discredited because their priests, barely able to hide smiles and erections, took their gospels for bludgeons?
While Barker is critical of organized religion, he has stated that he is a believer in both God and the afterlife, and that the Bible influences his work. I wanted to do the reverse of what I did in Weaveworld which was to really cross the t's and dot the i's, give every detail of psychology and so on.Linking with the novella's roughly bookended vow of "I'll never leave you," promised by both Boone and Lori, Clive considers making these the opening words of the movie as he looks for the best way to give his lovers context. Slightly treated, giving an evocative and incantatory quality to what is said, a female child's voice is heard as these abstract mists continue to play. Porque en definitiva los verdaderos monstruos habitan en la superficie, tienen apariencia "normal"(dicotomía recurrente en la obra de Barker), e irán detrás de el y de la única persona que realmente lo ama y lucha por el, su novia Lori. I'm not above giving this novel another try when the events outside my window aren't scarier than the ones a horror novelist conjured, but this was one of those books I started rewriting in my head while reading it: terrific theme and some solid prose undone by feeble characters, inane plotting and storytelling that never took off for me.
