halucinatory horrible and hilarious

Hopefully someone with guts and money will make at least 1 of these 2 stories into the CGI B Movie classics they deserve to be; a fantastic playground for the bizarre beast that is the human imagination. *Almost* Lovecraftian porn. Science Fiction writers in trouble, succubi lensed snuff films, interdimensional war, and Famous Monsters of Filmland - why don't more books feature these subjects?!? When you're tired of reading about the human condition and want to read about inhuman conditions, Farmer's books are here with cheap thrills galore. And really, the writing is better than it has to be to make this kind of subject matter entertaining (more than worth the time for fans of "extreme" or whatever trendy tag you want to put on it.) Thanks Phil!!!!
