CALIGULA:
DIVINE CARNAGE
Stephen Barber
&
Jeremy Reed
Caligula: most notorious of the Roman Emperors, who
seduced his own sister, installed a horse in the Roman Senate, turned
his palace into a brothel, married a prostitute, tortured and killed
innocent citizens on a whim, and committed countless other acts of madness,
cruelty and deviancy.
Award-winning writers Stephen Barber and Jeremy Reed document in full
the atrocities of Caligula and also the
other mad Emperors, particularly the deranged Commodus and Heliogabalus,
the teenage ambisexual sun-god whose arch-decadent proclivities
would inspire Antonin Artaud to eulogise him in prose centuries later.
Also included is a bloody history of Gladiators and the Roman Arena,
the depraved circus where Christians, freaks and criminals were butchered
by the thousand.
CALIGULA: DIVINE CARNAGE is a shocking catalogue of incest, transvestism,
torture, slaughter and perversity brought to life by Barber and Reeds
superb authorial skill, making it an essential and eloquent document
of murderous decadence.
