Remember that term from the forward to A Coven of Vampires? Well I just came across a passage last night that fits that description perfectly. I had read it before, a couple of years ago, but for some reason I must have blocked out the details...
Let's have everyone's favorite splatterpunk moments from Lumley's books, Necroscope or otherwise. Doesn't have to be verbatim as I have done with this passage from 'Khai', but I'm interested in what really sicked you guys out...
When the women were completely naked, four of the blacks lifted his mother up horizontally and held her with her arms and legs outstretched, forming a human cross. Namisha was lifted into the same position; and without more ado, coldly and apparently without lust, the Black Guard commenced to rape both mother and daughter - one awake and screaming, the other oblivious of her body's torment - relieving themselves into their spreadeagled bodies one after the other and from the standing position.
The whole hideous process was remarkably quick and efficient, with each man working for mere seconds before withdrawing to be replaced by the next in line. Semen quickly formed small pools where it dripped from the suspended bodies of the brutalized women; and as the fifteenth or sixteenth massive black took his turn with Merayet, so she gave one final shriek and lost consciousness. At that, the four who held her sat her up in mid-air, their hands supporting her beneath knees and armpits, until her naked body formed the shape of a chair.
They ran with her in that position to the east-facing rim of the plateau. There, at intervals along the rim, bronze measuring rods stuck up vertically from locating holes in the outer blocks of stone. Two of these had been filed needle sharp; and upon one of them, without pause, the blacks placed Merayet's body, ramming her down on the rod until she sat on the very lip of the plateau with her legs dangling over the side. The rod came out, red and glistening, from a position near the top of her spine.
Namisha, too, was hurried over to the rim beside her mother, but as she was lifted up above the second of the two sharpened rods, so she regained consciousness. One scream only she uttered, high and bubbling, as she was driven down onto that long, slender bronze fang. Her limbs flailed spastically for a split second as the rod's point slid out above her left breast, and then she was still.
.................................................. ...
Staring back through eyes which were glazed dull with shock, he looked one last time upon a scene which burned in his mind like drops of acid.
The naked, butchered carcasses of his mother and sister where they sat like gargoyles - no longer human beings but slaughtered animals - overlooking Asorbes through sightless eyes, transfixed and supported by crimson-tipped spines of bronze...
