\u2022 “In spite of the blood-drinking pursuits of Rollin\u2019s protagonists, there\u2019s very little in the way of body horror to be found.

I prefer the good to the bad, the articulate to the mumbling, the aesthetically developed to the merely primitive, and full to partial consciousness. I love the spectacle of skill, whether it\u2019s an expert gardener at work, or a good carpenter chopping dovetails, or someone tying a Bimini hitch that won\u2019t slip.<\/p>\n
