His Books of Blood in the 1980s established him as a premier master of the horror narrative, on an equal level or even surpassing Stephen King, who said of him;
I have seen the future of horror, his name is Clive Barker.
Stephen King
Like King, Barker’s works of horror have been adopted and adapted for movies, his stories becoming the basis for the Hellraiser and Candyman series and many more. Beyond his stories being used as source material, Barker has worked as screenwriter, producer, actor and director in the film world.
As with Stephen King, many of Clive’s fans have found him through enjo

My Psychological Synopsis On Loki
(A big thank you to baronessofblades for encouraging me to write this.)
Now, I have read a number of Hiddleston's interviews and a few articles on the analysis of Loki. And here are four of them that I could mostly agree with:
Tom Hiddleston Takes Us Inside The Complicated Mind of Loki
Tom Hiddleston Explains The Psychology Of Loki
Tom Hiddleston Talks The Madness of Loki, His Hope For Redemption In Thor 2
parasomnia, About Loki
(I'd greatly recommend reading them as I could never explain it any better myself.)
And this is just a small part of my humble study on Marvel's movie Loki:
We all know who Loki is. Most of us have the most co

Sometimes in youth we play crazy mind games. One gruesome game was trying to think of the worst way to die. Or even better, the "which would you choose" version of the same conceit. Another was what would be the worst torture to endure. If there is one international touchstone that best captures youthful fears and wonders in speculation of what lies beyond the veil of death and awaits as possible punishment for our sins, it must be - to the few who have actually read it to the millions who "know" it – "Dante's Inferno." Who does not shiver at the thought of being
All I wanted to do was science
Whatever was the cost
Even if it meant making my own rules
We had our ups and downs
And several law suits
But we are not stopped by bunch of fools
I don't have much time left
The infection carries on
I will miss you Caroline
For you I sing this song
We tested with best of the best
And poor and homeless
Sometimes ending up with a pile of mess
From producing shower curtains
To poisonous prepulsion gels
After trial and error we made success
I don't have much time left...
I wonder if they could
Put my mind inside a computer
So I could live here forever

Becoming a Hero the Hard Way:
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III as a Christ Figure
(This is an essay I wrote for school in March 2011)
The Christ metaphor has been a poignant part of western literary tradition for millennia. By reinterpreting the Christ story, a piece of literature can bring a new relevance to the ancient story and reveal new ideas within its meaning and mechanics. This is not a practice limited to any one genre, and can be found places where you'd least expect it to be. A great example would be the children's book How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell. By focusing on human dynamics in a fresh Christ metaphor, Cowell c
