What a tangled web she weaves..

Beautiful book! Beautiful photography! Beautiful artwork! I love the pairing of spiders and vampires, and the idea of a vampire spinning a web of seduction. An intriguing story about relationships and personal identity. A tale everyone can relate to.

theatrical. mysterious. dark. goth. fantasy.

i was excited to enter this book, knowing full well that artiste marilyn yu never stops short of producing works of art that are shocking - yet understated in their calm presentation. it is obvious that this artist's approach is to combine her magic, creative talent with an intelligent, structured approach. while the story and costumes and models may be out of this world and absolutely extraordinary, at the same time they premise lies on a stalwart foundation of plausibility... even though the story concludes with a shocking ending, at the same time it left me thinking "... yes i can actually see that happening." it is the author's ability to weave (no pun intended as she is also a clothing designer) magic with reality, that allows one's imagination to cross over into real world. this is a beautiful coffee table book. and a mind-boggling short-story inside, replete with gorgeous designs and presentation.

Not your usual vampire story

What impressed me most about this book is how well the photographic content meshed with the story. The lighting and locations were well thought out and magically transported me into the story. Not your usual coffee table material but certainly more intriguing.

she sucks you in...

The subject matter is not as important as the visual escapade. A story that tunes to the longings we all have, it is worth the look see for she really sucks you in...

Beautiful, collaborative art

A beautiful art book that tells a useful parable about all relationships --not just those between vampires and spiders-- "Relationships That Suck" is a book that is wonderful for your coffee table or your lover's nightstand.
