ʻO Clive Barker. ʻO kēlā inoa wale nō ka mea e hoʻouna ai i ka haʻalulu i kou iwi kuamoʻo. ʻO ia paha kekahi o nā mea kākau weliweli ʻoi loa mai ka makahiki 1980, ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka moemoeā, ka weliweli, a me nā kumumanaʻo wahaheʻe i mea e hiki ai ke weliweli a hohonu hoʻi.

E ʻike ʻoe ke heluhelu nei ʻoe i kahi moʻolelo ʻo Clive Barker inā hāʻawi ʻia ia iā ʻoe me ka inoa ʻole a me ke poʻo inoa. ʻAʻole hoʻokuʻi ʻo Barker i nā palena o ka weliweli. ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia i ʻike i nā palena i loaʻa a hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kahi mea weliweli ma hope o kekahi ma kahi kumu kiaʻi rabid e makemake nui nei.

He moekolohe ka fiction o Barker. Kūleʻa ia. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ia iā ʻoe i kou noho a mahalo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ke heluhelu nei ʻoe i kekahi mea a ke ʻike nei i nā manaʻo ʻaʻole paha ʻoe. ʻO ia ka puke āu e hūnā ai ke hiki mai kahi ʻoihana kūpono, akā ma kahi o kāu e kau ai i ka papa ʻaina kope i ʻike lākou i ka mea a lākou e hana pū nei.

Ua kākau wau ma mua e pili ana i ka hopena a kāna fiction i hana ai iaʻu. Eia kahi mea kākau i kākau i ka weliweli i loaʻa kahi ʻano maoli o ke ʻano aliʻi iā ia, ʻaʻole ma nā huapalapala wale nō akā ma nā kumuhana. ʻO ka mea nui aku, ʻaʻole ka mea nui a kāna mea e hoʻokani nei i mea nui a koʻikoʻi paha e pili ana iā lākou. Ua normalized representation i loko o ka hyper-maoli o ke koko a me ka gore a me ka pouli ka moemoeā.

Ua māhuahua wale ka hohonu o kēlā moʻolelo fiction ke ʻike wau he kāne kāne ʻo Barker. A i kēia manawa, i ko mākou makahiki ʻekolu o iHorror's Horror Pride Month, kahi ʻatikala i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka loea o ke kāne ua hala paha.

No laila, eia nā ʻelima o kaʻu mau puke punahele na Clive Barker i ʻole kauoha kikoʻī. Inā ʻoe he peʻa a he ʻokoʻa nā punahele āu, makemake wau e hoʻolohe i kāu i nā ʻōlelo!

ʻO Clive Barker Na Buke Koko

ʻAe, no laila ke hoʻopunipuni nei wau ma waho o ka puka pā o kēia, akā ʻaʻohe oʻu manaʻo.

Na Buke Koko huina ʻeono mau puke i loaʻa he 30 mau moʻolelo, ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike pinepine i nā ʻeono i ka helu hoʻokahi. Ua paʻi ʻia ma waena o 1984 a me 1985 a he haku weliweli ko Stephen King hailing iā Barker ma ke ʻano he weliweli o ka wā e hiki mai ana.

Ma ke ʻano, aneane like lākou e like me Clive Barker e ʻōlelo nei, "He ʻono kēia o kaʻu e mālama nei nāu ma hope."

I kēia manawa, uhi ka moʻolelo i ka honua. Aia kekahi mea hoʻomākeʻaka hiki ʻole ke hōʻole ʻia "The Yattering and Jack" nāna i haʻi ka moʻolelo o kahi kāne e pili ana i kahi daimonio i hoʻouna ʻia e hōʻeha iā ia e Beelzebub. Hana maikaʻi ka diabolō i kāna pae e hoʻokele pupule iā Jack, akā hoʻomau ke kanaka i ka nānā ʻole iā ia a hiki i ka wā e uhaʻi ai ka daimonio i nā lula a ʻike ʻo ia iā ia iho ma lalo o kā Jack mana. Ua hoʻololi ʻia ka moʻolelo ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana no Nā Hōʻeuʻeu mai ka Poʻe.

A laila aia ʻo "Rawhead Rex" e pili ana i kahi mea ola hellish i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma luna o kahi kaiāulu kaiāulu e ʻoki a paʻi i ke ala i ke kaiāulu.

Akā ʻo kekahi o kaʻu mau mea punahele, ka mea e ʻumeʻume nei iaʻu a hiki i kēia lā, ʻo "In the Hills, the Cities" kahi mea i loaʻa ai kahi kāne male kāne e hina ana i kahi ʻike maka ʻole i Yugoslavia kahi i nā makahiki he ʻumi a ka lehulehu o nā kūlanakauhale ʻelua i hoʻopaʻa paʻa iā lākou iho. e hana i nā ʻano humanoid nunui e like me ke kiʻkiʻi. I kēia makahiki naʻe, ua hewa kekahi mea a hāʻule kekahi o nā pilikua e luku ana he mau kaukani mau kānaka. I ka ʻike ʻana aku, huhū nā makaʻāinana i kahi pilikua ʻē aʻe a mālama ma o aku o ke awāwa e like me ka lohi o ka make ʻana o kā lākou lālā.

ʻO kekahi mau moʻolelo mai Na Buke Koko ua hoʻololi ʻia no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me ke poʻo inoa o ka moʻolelo e hana ana i ka pale no ka hōʻiliʻili holoʻokoʻa. Pili ia i kahi kanaka ʻōpio e hoʻohālike ana he psychic nāna e huhū i nā ʻuhane e hele ana i kahi ala neoneo ma waena o ka afterlife. Kālai lākou i kā lākou mau moʻolelo i kona ʻili a lilo ʻo ia i Book of Blood.

E ʻike pū ʻoe i ka moʻolelo kumu no Candyman i loko o kāna ʻaoʻao i kapa ʻia ʻo "The Forbidden."

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i heluhelu Na Buke Koko, hana i kēia manawa!

Imajica

ʻAʻohe kokoke e hiki ʻole ke wehewehe Imajica i kekahi mau paukū. ʻO kāna moʻolelo nui loa ka paʻakikī loa a Barker i kākau ai a ua kapa ka mea kākau iā ia kāna punahele.

I loko o ka puke moʻolelo, ʻo ka Honua kahi o nā ao pili ʻelima i kapa ʻia ʻo Dominions e noho aliʻi ʻia e kahi Akua i kapa ʻia ʻo Hapexamendios. I ka wā ma mua, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka Honua mai nā aupuni ʻehā ʻē aʻe akā i kēlā me kēia 200 makahiki ʻo Maestros, nā mea hoʻokalakupua ʻoi loa o nā Dominions ʻē aʻe, e hoʻāʻo e hoʻohui hou i ka honua i nā ʻehā ʻē aʻe.

ʻAʻole holo pono kēlā me kēia hoʻāʻo, a me ka make a me ka luku kokoke mau ʻana ma hope o kēlā kūleʻa.

ʻO ka moʻolelo ma hope o kahi kāne i kapa ʻia ʻo Gentle a me kahi mea pepehi kanaka i hoʻololi ʻia e ka inoa ʻo PieʻoʻPah, ʻo Pie no ka pōkole, ka mea i hele i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao ʻelima e ʻike nei i kekahi hanana weliweli ma hope o kekahi.

Ma nā ʻaoʻao 824, ʻo ia ka hana nui loa ma kēia papa inoa, akā ʻo ia nō kekahi o nā mea e hōʻoluʻolu nui loa inā makemake ʻoe i ke kuʻina o ka weliweli a me ka moemoeā ʻeleʻele.

Kāpena

Kāpena Ua paʻi mua ʻia ma 1988 a ma hope e lilo i kumu no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Poʻe pō na Barker i kākau a kuhikuhi.

Pili ia i kahi kanaka ʻōpio i kapa ʻia ʻo Boone i manaʻo ʻia e ka psychiatrist nona ka inoa ʻo Decker ua hana ʻo ia i kahi moʻo pepehi kanaka weliweli.

I loko o kahi moemoeā, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi kūlanakauhale i kapa ʻia ʻo Midiana iā Boone. He kūlanakauhale ia e ʻae i nā moʻo a me nā miscreants i loko o kāna pā. Ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana o kahi mea maʻi i ke ala e loaʻa ai iā Boone ke kūlanakauhale, hele ʻo ia i waho, aia wale nō ʻo Decker e ukali iā ia.

Ua kī ʻia ʻo Boone a waiho ʻia no ka make a lawe ʻia i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Midiana a ma laila e hoʻomaka ai ka pilikia maoli.

Naʻu, Kāpena ʻo ia paha kekahi o nā moʻolelo kaulana loa a Barker. ʻLelo ia i nā manaʻo o nā kaiāulu huna i koi ʻia i ka palena o ke kaiāulu. ʻO nā mea kūʻē nui nā kāhuna, nā kauka, a me nā mākaʻi, ʻo ia hoʻi nā pūʻulu a nā kaiāulu LGBTQ i hakakā me ka manawa a me ka manawa hou i loko o ka mōʻaukala.

Inā ʻoe i ʻike i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, pono ke heluhelu ʻana i nā kumuwaiwai.

Nā ʻblelo Ola

ʻAʻole ʻoe i manaʻo e hele wau i loko o kēia mea āpau me ka ʻole o kēia?

Hellraiser a ua hoʻomaka ka Cenoibites makaʻu i ko lākou ola i nā ʻaoʻao o kekahi novella hou mai Barker i kapa ʻia Nā ʻblelo Ola i ʻike ʻia ma Nānā Nānā Volume 3, kahi anthology i hoʻoponopono ʻia e kekahi mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o George RR Martin.

I ka lohe ʻana o hedonist Frank Cotton i ka mea pohihihi Lemarchand Configuration a hoʻomaka koke e ʻike i ka pahu puzzle nona iho. I ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana iā ia, hoʻi ʻo ia i ka home haʻalele o kona kupunawahine a hoʻonohonoho i nā makana no ka Cenobite pohihihi, nā lālā o kahi "ʻaoʻao haipule" i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no nā leʻaleʻa maoli.

ʻAʻole manaʻo iki ʻo Poor Frank i kāna mea e hoʻokuʻu nei. Ua blur nā Cenobite i nā laina ma waena o ka ʻeha a me ka leʻaleʻa no ka manawa lōʻihi ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke haʻi hou i ka ʻokoʻa, a ua huki ʻia ʻo ia i kāna makemake i kahi pae o ka ʻehaʻeha hiki ʻole iā ia ke noʻonoʻo.

Ke neʻe kona kaikaina a me kona ʻohana i ka home ma hope, ua kūlele lākou i kahi kaulahao o nā hanana e loli a pau o ko lākou ola mau loa.

Inā ʻoe e aloha i kēia novella a me ka Hellraiser nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, paipai hoʻi wau Nā ʻeuanelio ʻulaʻula, kahi hopena e ʻeli i nā mea i loko o Hell me Pinhead a me nā Cenobites a me ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana mai o kahi mākaʻi weliweli honua o Barker ʻo Harry DʻAmour.

ʻO ka Hōʻikeʻike Nui a Huna

ʻO kekahi laʻana nani o ka hiki iā Barker ke hoʻohui i ka weliweli a me ka moemoeā, ʻO ka Hōʻikeʻike Nui a Huna ma waena o ka hakakā ma waena o Randall Jaffe lāua ʻo Richard Fletcher no ke kai moe i kapa ʻia ʻo Quiddity.

Kipa kēlā me kēia kanaka iā Quiddity ʻekolu mau manawa i ko lākou ola: ʻo ka manawa mua a mākou e hiamoe ai ma waho o ka ʻōpū o kā mākou makuahine, ʻo ka manawa mua mākou e hiamoe ai ma kahi o ka mea a mākou e aloha maoli ai, a me ka manawa hope loa a mākou e hiamoe ai ma mua o ka make ʻana.

ʻAʻole lawa kēlā no Jaffe. Makemake ʻo ia i ka kaohi o Quiddity e komo i loko o kāna mau mana a hoʻolaʻa ʻia ʻo Fletcher i ka mālama ʻana i kēia kumu mana.

He hihiu a kupaianaha ka moʻolelo a weliweli hoʻi me nā mea ola i hiki ke ulu wale mai ka manaʻo o Clive Barker. ʻO ka Lix, kahi laʻana, he mau mea like me ka nahesa i hana ʻia mai nā feces a me ka semen.

Ua hoʻololi ʻia ka puke moʻolelo ma ke ʻano he kiʻi kiʻi ʻaoʻao ʻelua pū kekahi.
