| 1. The Picture Of Dorian Gray (Original Lippincott Edition) | 
|
By: Oscar Wilde
Publisher: Creation Books
2000
I haven't actually had a chance to read the book yet, but there are plenty of reviews out there. I can say that aesthetically this is a beautiful edition. I hope that penguin continues to reprint classic novels in this style... more

| 2. The Great God Pan (Creation Classics) | 
|
By: Arthur Machen
Publisher: Creation Books
1991-06
I've been meaning to read something by Machen for a while. Partially because I heard this was good and partially because he's Welsh. This is a decent little story but it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. If your into twisted Lovecraft type stuff you will like this... more

| 3. Pirates |
|
By: Captain Charles Johnson
Publisher: Creation Books
April 01, 1999
This is yet another knock-off from Captain Charles Johnson's volumes on pirates from the Golden Age of Piracy. It contains narratives on all the old favorites: Blackbeard, Kidd, Roberts, Bonny to name a few.
The things that set this text slightly above the others of its ilk are the coverage of more pirates than just the usual favorites, less 'constructive' deletion of the original text... more

| 4. Alice Through The Looking Glass | 
|
By: Lewis Carroll
Publisher: Creation Books
2000
I'm confused by the other reviews here, which all refer to some other illustrators. I'm looking at an edition that was illustrated by Ralph Steadman. Also, credit for the illustration is given to Ralph Steadman, in the Amazon description on this page. That is the edition I want and I certainly hope it is the one that is delivered to my home.
If it is any other edition than the one pictured on... more

| 5. Ed Gein - Psycho! | 
|
By: Paul A. Woods
Publisher: Creation Books
February 13, 1992
When thinking of a good psycho film Ed Gein comes to mind. This is one sick, and twisted book that covers all. First we get the story of Ed's life, childhood, people he knows, mom, and a course his crime. Another good thing about this book is the information on the movies that were inspired by Ed Gein. Great photos, and short read makes this book a perfect keep... more

| 6. The Case of Charles Dexter Ward |
|
By: H.P. Lovecraft
Publisher: Creation Oneiros Books
September 01, 2008
Perhaps a bit of this novel's history might not be amiss. _The Case of Charles Dexter Ward_ is a 48,000 word novel that Lovecraft wrote in 1927. It is his longest work. A handwritten copy of the manuscript languished in HPL's files while he puttered around with an essay on the supernatural and a travel book on Canada (for which he was paid nothing). Several publishers had expressed an interest in a... more

| 7. Paradoxia : A Predator's Diary |
|
By: Lydia Lunch
Publisher: Creation Books
2000-09
This is disgust and insanity. I mean I knew it would be shocking, but not to this degree. I guess I'm thankful that I've lived a pretty sheltered life and no one of this makes any sense to me. I just like her spoken word, but that's about it. I feel sorry for all the wretched souls out there who've lived these atrocious lives. God give them a soul... more

| 8. The She Devils (Creation Classics) |
|
By: Pierre Louys
Publisher: Creation Books
2000-09
Another reviewer claims this book is vile filth. In fact, it's a saucy fantasy with some exquisite imagery and a lot of jolly inventive romps; closer to Benny Hill than to De Sade.
Any keen aficionado of erotica will enjoy the scene in which Mummy takes the narrator's dickie up her bum and her youngest daughter's slim hand enters her vaginally and provides exquisite pleasure to the lucky... more

| 9. Exceeding Gratitude for the Creator's Plan | 
|
By: James P. Gills
Publisher: Creation Books
June 02, 2007
This book is an apologetic for the reality and power of the Christian worldview to change lives and transform defeated people into positive, successful, joyful, and loving souls who discover their personal destiny. That is only possible when people discover and learn to appreciate fully the Creator's plan. Using a style similar to "The Purpose-Driven Life," Gills takes thirty-one days to weave readers... more

| 10. Anarchy and Alchemy: The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky (Persistence of Vision) |
|
By: Ben Cobb
Publisher: Creation Books
August 15, 2007
I do not know the background of the author, but it is obvious that he is NOT a specialist of Jodorowsky. Nor is he aware of elementary cinematographic or cultural terminology. At one point, mentioning the 'peplum' movies, he translates the word (peplum) as 'sandals.' His inability to speak French and Spanish is adversely affecting the very quality of the book. Instead of interviewing Jodorowsky in... more
