"Damaged people, ultraviolence, murder and explicit sex--what's not to love about her work?"--"Bad Barbie" Featurette, FANGORIA (America's #1 Horror Magazine)

Enter into the mind of Barbie Wilde, whose disturbing interior world teems with the voices of rebellious female demons, devilish witches, semen-hungry neo-vampires, raging gods and home invaders, the fiends of sleep paralysis, pint-sized store-front preachers with a whiff of sulfur, body horrors of the most grotesque kind, clandestine aliens and Zulu zombies.

These truly are the VOICES OF THE DAMNED: eleven short horror stories from Barbie Wilde, actress (HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II, DEATH WISH 3) and dark crime-horror novelist (THE VENUS COMPLEX). FANGORIA has called Wilde "one of the finest purveyors of erotically charged horror fiction around."

Each story is accompanied by seductive, haunting, full color artworks and illustrations created by some of the most imaginative artists in the genre: Clive Barker, Nick Percival, Steve McGinnis, Daniele Serra, Eric Gross, Tara Bush, Vincent Sammy, & Ben Baldwin.

Foreword by Chris Alexander, Editor in Chief, FANGORIA

Industry Reviews

Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"In this impressive collection of short stories, actor Wilde (who played the Female Cenobite in the film classic Hellbound: Hellraiser II) reveals a world of beautiful fear. The most delightfully terrifying entries form the Cilicium Trilogy, which reveals the complex origin and destiny of Sister Cilice. This character-focused exploration is sensual in its brutality. In "Writer"s Block," Wilde combines the psychological torture of an unknown artist with the erotic egotism of fandom to create a fascinating sexual horror. She creates a dreadful family legacy in "Botophobia," in which there are not merely skeletons in the closet but unworldly powers hidden in the basement. Wilde"s mastery of shocking violence is given full rein in subjects ranging from reclusive self-imprisonment to the exploration of European nightmares. As much a chilling collection of frightful fiction as a delight for the darker senses, this is a satisfying triumph in a befitting, unforgiving, style. (Oct.)"

Review Extracts:

"Voices of the Damned is raw, twisted, horrifying and seductive. Barbie Wilde takes no prisoners & she does not disappoint!"978-1-909640-40-5 --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Dead of Night and Ghostwalkers

"...this collection of eleven short stories confirms Wilde as a foremost author of erotic horror fiction"

--Jon Towlson, Starburst magazine and author of Subversive Horror Cinema: Countercultural Messages of Films from Frankenstein to the Present

"...her work is so uncanny and fearless, it is a must have for any horror aficionado."

--writers and directors the Soska Sisters (Dead Hooker in a Trunk, American Mary, See No Evil 2, Vendetta)

"Raised from the dead, this phantasmagoria of tales offers well-written mini-nightmares that will traumatize, titillate, and stick in your mind long after you've closed the book."

--Filmmaker Izzy Lee, Fangoria Online

"If testosterone jumping erotica combined with heart racing fear is your bag of horror then this is just what you're looking for..."

--Paul Nelson, Scream Horror Magazine UK "Voices of the Damned is one of those seminal collections put out by an independent publisher that not only heralds the arrival of an awe inspiring new fiction writing talent but also bodes well for the genre into which this particular author has so nobly shoe-horned herself. Just as with Clive Barker, there is no apology for the horrors about which she writes, indeed, the whole tome is a celebration of the weird, fantastic, and, oh yes, the nauseous."

--John Gilbert, Fear magazine Issue #35
