Scarred (Never After Series)

Product Information

It wasn't until she was branded in a secret, nude, blind-folded, women-only darkened ceremony that she "woke up" and started working to get out. Pirating from all sorts of existing philosophies including Scientology, The Four Agreements, Dianetics, the martial arts system of growth, and ultimately components of Hinduism and the Klu Klux Klan, Keith Raniere developed a complex university of human potential. The writing was stilted and at times went off in a more self-congratulatory direction than I wanted it to.

Ever since our ability to record, edit and re-share the visual and sonic textures of our common (and sometimes uncommon) cultural experience became a viable option to those outside the entertainment industry, people (largely, it has to be said, bespectacled introverts with testicles and optional BO) have been doing so. The ‘Zammo on drugs’ storyline on Grange Hill is mentioned – but also the one about racist bullying. For a reader familiar with cults, it’s easy to see that the material she describes to us is designed to reprogram her language and beliefs, but for someone earnestly looking for career improvement you can see how it would look appealing to her. It’s not just science fiction or horror the authors are interested in either, as they (often with the help of the peerless Network DVD, archivists of 70s grit and grot par excellence) unearth some overlooked gems like none-more-downbeat school-leavers’ drama 4 Idle Hands or Gangsters, Philip Martin’s violent, postmodern assault on the nerves. The same brother responsible for both Tristan's tormented childhood and the scar that mars his face.I was hoping that Scarred would give me some background on Mack and how she became involved and ended up the head sex slave master but it didn’t. In this book, Sarah Edmondson recounts what drew her to joining NXIVM and how she climbed the ranks within what she believed to be a slightly eccentric self-help group. There is very little self-analysis here and she's quick to blame others for what were her own bad choices. She bewitches me, and I would rather rid her from the face of the earth than exist in a world where she tempts me but leaves me with empty arms.

There are the things that you know are meant to be scary, the things that are more scary than you thought they would be and the things that are scary that you didn’t think would be. I will lick, and suck, and cut any part of you I wish, as often as I wish, until you're begging me to slice you open and do it some more.Lawrence chimed in that he could help out with it, and the result is this 740-page tome of British-accented nightmare fuel.
