    My Hero
    This is why I forever adore this woman (direct quote from her LiveJournal):

    "This morning marked a milestone: the first true moron-babybat Amazon review of LIQUOR by one "emileigh from texas," with gems like "[Lacks] the shock value ... of EXQUISITE CORPSE" (hell, if it lacks shock value, it can't be any good!); "I have to say that Liquor is rather bland, and doesn't really support Poppy Z. Brite's unflinching writing style" (I'm left wondering how a book I wrote can fail to support my writing style); "I hope that this is only a transgression period and that Brite'll be moving on to better things" (OK, emileigh, let's haul out the trusty old dictionary and look up "transgression," shall we?); the especially fabulous "For the boy-love fans out there- you will be let down"; and last but not least, "Don't get me wrong, I'll still read the sequel. But now I know better then to get excited over it."

    emileigh, if you're reading this, do me a favor and don't read the "sequel." You are a textbook example of the kind of reader I'm glad to shake off like that last irritating drop of pee clinging to the tip of my dick."

    I can not fathom the idea that ANYone would be less than enthusiastic over ANYthing this woman has ever written. Kudos to her for allowing her writing to grow with her and not forcing the same genre. We have seen that happen severely and the all too tragic, burn-out effect that results. So, so sad. Not that it was all that endearing to begin with...

    If you have never read anything by the nothing-less-than-amazing Poppy Z. Brite, do so now.
