4.0 out of 5 stars Gray line defining art..., May 14, 2004
By A Customer
As member of the BDSM society for a decade now, I find that I am quite liberal in my definitions of what art is. This however is one of those titles that, while I understand blood play and its appeal, seems to linger in that gray area. Gatewood is a brilliant photographer, but I seriously warn you: THIS IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!!!! Plus, I feel that a small section should have been devoted to safety issues dealing w/ blood play; it is not for the amatuer BDSM'er....but rather one of the MOST extreme of "Extreme Play"s. If serious blood play is your thing, check this book out; if you are just curious...be warned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, disturbing & beautiful, November 29, 2001
By Miranda S. Padgett (Talent, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: True Blood (Hardcover)
I loved this book. I'd wanted to read it since I first heard mention of it in Carpe Noctem years earlier. I finally picked up a copy a couple weeks ago, and I love it. It's a very interesting look at the bloodplay scene, with some truly breathtaking photography (much of which is in full color, to warn the squeamish). David Aaron Clark has supplied very lush and meditative erotic text to supplement the photos, and together they create a sort of poetry beyond the "taboo" nature of the subject matter. It's a great book because it is both beautiful and decadent, and never as "shocking" as it is intensely, profoundly human. Another score for these talented artists.

4.0 out of 5 stars subcultures, June 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: True Blood (Hardcover)
I believe the apparent shock value in this book generaly forces one to look the other way. However, at closer inspection, this proves to be a unique look into the art of a all together cloudy subject, for most, performance art at it's most dedicated- The beauty in brutal images. You cannot deny the truth of this book. It is a reflection into a realm many contimplate, but rarely acknowledged or anyilize. A visual glimpse into the comfort pain brings to some, and what brings nightmares to others. A book one must experience and accept. A rare book. One to hide in your closet before guests arrive!
