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...

i can't think of any other passage because the one above has always stuck with me ever since i originally read it.

 

i'll need to think about this.

Brian would be so disappointed!

 

All the hard work he's put in over the years making us go holyfeckinsheet, what did I just read?!? 'Scuse me while I poke out my Mind's Eye and rinse the puke outta my mouth!, and no one can think of one of those moments?

 

How 'bout Daham Drakesh with his pulping chimney and its irrigation system?

 

That's kinda yucky, IMO...

 

:cool:

Yeah but N8 after reading that again, I just can't think of anything else more disturbing!!!

number two has to be the one with Boris in the beginning of Necrrscope

I was thinking that sdkdmd, the bit where he describes Dragosani "at work"

Yes, that passage is what sucked me in, it grab me and said keep reading

Boris at work on the stiff at Chateau Bronnitsy.I read that aloud to my girlfriend... She did'nt know what to say.

Any description of bodies getting caught in the belly of flyers kinda does it for me! Imagine the stench!! Worse than 9 pints of Guinness and a Phal!!

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

I just remembered another good one...

 

Maze of Worlds: In Ki-no Sung's nightmare world, when they are all in his village. Ki-no Sung's wife is pregnant, lying on a bed giving birth... to a construct which busts out of her! The description of it erupting from her distended belly was so detailed it almost made me sick. Then the construct tracks them through the jungle.

Just thought of another one. How about the first bloke in The Touch to be evaginated. A government minister, I think, which seems like a decent concept!!! Cool, eh? :grin:

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Mandy the Feckless of Taunton!!

When Angus kills his olden "friend" from the police..god..imagine you witness your own limbs being sawn off..yeah he didn't feel a thing...but the horror of it must have cracked his mind...

When James Anderson is being tortured...shitty cruel thing

Dragosani's introduction is still the most gruesome for me, but from Psychamock, when Lynn Craig is in the log cabin in Germany and the old spinster catches up with her (I can't remember her name off hand) and has the 3 pronged claw thing and shows how it was used on her which is exactly what she intends to do to Lynn...

the dragosani scene has to my stand out bit for me for its sheer grusomess, esp at the end when he brings his tube with the mouthpiece at one end of it, yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk!!!

Yeah but N8 after reading that again, I just can't think of anything else more disturbing!!!

 

I guess you haven't seen "cannibal holocaust".

 

One of the scenes that has been with me since the very beginning was at the start of the first Necroscope book with Dragosani doing his job on that corpse. I was eating "rice crispies" at the Time and I still can't eat them to this day.

To be honest, nothing. But I haven't read Khai nor some of the other books. Just all the Necroscopes, all three Psychomechs, House of Doors 1&2 and Omnibus 1.

 

I'm a bit jaded I think. Not much grosses me out.
