![]() Egyrészt nagyon szeretem Emilie Autumn zenéjét (főleg az korábbi albumait), és azt, hogy milyen nyíltan beszél a saját tapasztalatairól, hiszen mentális betegséget felvállalni még napjainkban is elég durva megbélyegzéssel jár a társadalom részéről. Vajon ki a nagyobb őrült: aki sorozatosan ilyeneket ír, vagy aki sorozatosan az ilyenek olvasásában leli örömét?)Įlég vegyes érzéseim vannak ezzel a könyvvel kapcsolatban, annak ellenére, hogy imádtam olvasni, és néha képtelen voltam letenni. (Most megint ott tartok, hogy azok az emberek, akiknek a művei igazán lenyűgöznek, nem teljesen százasok. És ez mind működik külön-külön is, együtt is. (4) Bónuszként lehet hozzá hallgatni a Fight Like a Girl albumot. (A fotók annyira nem tetszettek, a fehér pólós sorozat nem illett bele az összképbe.) Sárgított lapok, néha kézzel írt naplórészletek, fotók, és – főleg – rajzok. Klasszikus gótikus, vérfagyasztó rémmese őrültek házával, operációkkal, patkányokkal és csíkos tapétával – ahogy kell.ģ) Képes album. Néha beugrott a Girl, Interrupted – ennél nagyobb dícséret tőlem nem is kell.Ģ) Egy rémmese. Tisztelem az ilyen embereket, nincs belőlük túl sok. Őrület a lá Emilie Autumn, három az egyben:ġ) Egy napló a sárga házból egy olyan ember tollából (kezdetben zsírkrétájából), aki tisztában van az állapotával, de nem használja azt kifogásként a viselkedésére. ![]() But beware: It is much easier to get into the Asylum than it is to get out… Prepare yourself to enter a world most pray never to visit. This monumental show of literary and artistic talent demands a place on your tea table as well as on your nightstand, although, readers, take care – you'll never think of your doctor in quite the same way again. In perhaps the most perverse twist of all, this Rated R publication is cleverly disguised as a high-end children's activity book, complete with interactive elements including notes, craft patterns, and reader quizzes designed both to disturb and delight. „The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls,” will leave fans shocked and readers everywhere gasping for air.Įach full-color page of this beautifully bound, 266 page hardcover is positively packed with hand written memoirs, fanciful paintings, and sketches of the Asylum's inhabitants. The book's colorful cast of characters (diabolical doctors, mental patients, and the talking plague rats and blood-sucking leeches that fans of EA's music are already familiar with) thoroughly entertain, educate, and engross the reader with prime movie material. It is a reality-bending thriller as well as a profoundly empowering tale of suffering, sisterhood, and revenge that culminates in what is perhaps one of the most suspenseful cliff-hangers of all time. ![]() „The Asylum…” is not all gloom and doom however. As the days go by, the seemingly disparate worlds of the story's two lead characters (Emilie and Emily, EA's Victorian counterpart) begin to merge, leaving the reader, as well as the book's author, rather confused as to whether the accounts are truly autobiographical or whether EA has managed to seamlessly morph from true-life tale to extremely well-researched historical fiction. The tale takes an unexpected turn when, whilst still in the psych ward, Emilie discovers evidence of a parallel dimension – a world that soon becomes indiscernible from her own. Still, as in her song lyrics, Emilie tells the truth at all costs, thrusting the brave reader into a play-by-play narrative of her bi-polar episodes, even providing photos – blood, cuts, and all. Narrated with the sarcastic and self-deprecating humor present in all of EA's works, much of the subject matter may be considered controversial. Sparing no detail, Emilie shows us exactly what goes on inside this house of horrors, exposing secrets that the general public could never have guessed at. ![]() Written and illustrated by the notoriously manic-depressive rock star, this chilling tale combines humor, tragedy, and suspense to produce a blood-curdling account of the nightmare that is life inside an insane asylum, comparing those from the Victorian era with our modern day version, and proving, through her own personal experiences, that not much has changed from then to now.Ĭulled directly from EA's real-life diary entries, the story begins with Emilie's suicide attempt and prompt imprisonment inside a psychiatric hospital. Straddling the bookshelves somewhere between psychological study, historical horror story, and fantasy fiction sits Emilie Autumn's debut autobiographical novel, „The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls.” ![]()
