New favorite disturbing scence (SPOILERS) - jpwynn - 02-07-2005

I remember a few months ago, there was a thread of people's favorite disturbing scenes. I just finished Dydeetown World yesterday and have to tell about one that has definitely climbed up into my top 3 and vying(?) for first place.

Kyle's punishment from The Man From Mars. Lying on the floor of that cave with nothing but his nerves, spinal cord and his head. With a lung machine keeping him alive. That was told so well. It kept replaying in my head throughout the rest of the book. Oh my God! The pain!

The only thing that MIGHT top that is the kid (whose name escapes me at the moment) being buried alive and in pain all those years in REPRISAL.

That would be Danny, who was so brutally and endlessly tortured by Sara Lom, aka, you know who.

Yes, that scene in "Dydeetown World" was unbelievable. Sometimes I need a nudge to remember these scenes and how wonderfully well FPW writes about the most awful things.

We met Mrs. FPW, Mary, at the GU 4, and she told us some tales (!!), one of which was how upset she was by the torture of little Danny and the fact that it was birthed by the brain of her husband! She had a hard time reconciling those two facts. After meeting Paul, I do, too!

For such a nice, kind and mild mannered guy, Effy can write some pretty mean stuff, or as Lisa would say, that's wicked nasty!

I can't see how a novelist could help but to put a little bit of himself into his books. Maybe this is a bit of Repairman Paul's dark side. Big Grin

More realistically however, in order to present The Otherness as truly evil, FPW had to come up with something that IS truly evil. Oim ahfter thenkin' that this probably gave FPW a few sour-bile-in-the-throat moments.

in my humble opinion my most disturbing scene in a FPW book would have to be when the priest turned bad ampire in midnight mass castrates and sucks the blood of a child

Ooohhh....this should have had a spoiler warning. I haven't read "Midnight Mass" yet.

Your right, I haven't read it either and your post is at the bottom. I've got to get that book! (I've said that about a hundred times) but now I mean it! Big Grin This thread does need to be labeled spoilers because there are several different books already mentioned.

Oops, my bad! It does say spoilers! I take it all back! Hey, if this is true, then maybe there was a stop sign when I was given that ticket from those courtious people working for the state. :confused: NOT!

And, The wire's scene. That was shocking!

Yeah, that "skitch" as it cut through Siggy's vertebrae gave me chills.

I just finished "Midnight Mass." UNBELIEVABLE! Absolutely awesome and I've got to read it again, right away.

FPW's writing is so crystal clear and tight - there is never an unncessary word. Every time I read a new book, I'm struck anew by his exceptional talent.

The image that has stayed in my mind from "Midnight Mass," and there are so many memorable scenes, is a throw away. It's casually mentioned in Franco's recap of all the horrors he wreaked upon America. Franco tells how he turned the President of the United States and the awful nationally televised show that followed.

"The President of the United States on his knees before a menstuating White House intern, lapping her blood."


O-M-G! Not only is it horrifying, it's horrifyingly erotic!
