4.0 out of 5 stars
Sublime and Masterfull,
By Goj (Fairfield, IA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Spider Garden: Amerotica (Paperback)
Not as strong as his later book Transeptor, but Spider Garden is a cool dream world of bondage and domination. Buy it for the art...and you'll be taken to places that will fill your dreams for years to come.

Gorgeous draughtsmanship, oblique storytelling, kinky sex,
By Sebbo "cardinal_sebbo" (Somerville, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Spider Garden: Amerotica (Paperback)
Many of my favorite comix share the quality of appearing to be self-contained artifacts dropped in from a different world, like the encyclopedia volume in Borges' "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius." They create little worlds with a totally persuasive ecology and aesthetic. Some examples of this have been THB #1 by Paul Pope, Louis by Metaphrog, New Hat by Tom Hart, and Cave-In by Brian Ralph (only the last of those is available through Amazon, unfortunately). The Spider Garden and its sequel, Hydrophidian, overflow with this quality. Drawing on Japanese woodblock prints and Cyberpunk science fiction, Manning creates an engrossing world of intrigue and decadence. It's worth emphasizing that Spider Garden is also extremely kinky and explicit fetish porn. It's rare that someone creates a work of artistically ambitions erotica where the sexual heat is not stifled by the author's pretentions, but here the intricate and subtle plot and the extensive sex scenes achieve a symbiotic relationship that increases the power of both. Manning has only begun to explore the world he suggests in these books, and his output is notoriously slow. I hope to see many more volumes of this story before he ends the series. Note: Unfortunately, like so many NBM books, the binding is lousy. The content bears repeated re-readings, but the spine does not.

Tastefully good,
By Gail (Milledgeville, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Spider Garden: Amerotica (Paperback)
It's great. But it's not for the sexually weak hearts. This book is best viewed with an open-mind and a love for erotic art. At first, I thought it wasn't going to argee with me but it did. It's very good and the stories will pull you in. The art is fanstastic and beautifully detailed. This is just my opinion on the book. If you do buy it, I hope that you will enjoy it.
