"A mind-blowing story more literary than 99% of the genre. Who else [but Barker] could skin a man, rip another apart, sit a cenobite on top of a pile of steaming organs and make a reader marvel at the manner in which he twists the language into beautiful sentences? Earthling’s 20th Anniversary Edition includes three extras that make the book worthy of purchasing, even if the reader cut his way through the story several times. With these goodies between the gorgeously demented covers (which Barker newly designed), one might feel as if he or she found something as valuable as the Lemarchand Configuration itself, but the pleasures enjoyed will not result in eternal damnation (I think). Recommended for both readers and collectors."
