Book Reviews of The Cabinet of Dark Things
Book Review: Strange and contradictory.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a rather complicated book, and it puzzles me how is that all the pictures were taken by the same photographer. There seems to be different levels of experience, different styles, and different picture quality.
First, half of the pictures are quite monotone, some attractive woman naked, posing, normally taken from the thighs up, most of them either with a mask or hiding their faces in apparent shame. A fair number of these shots seem to have been taken at a rather low resolution, and then passed by some low pass filter. We all know Photoshop is a great tool but it doesn't solve everything.
The rest of the pictures are, on the other hand, diverse. Some of them are too gross for my taste, some other are quite shocking, but that's, of course, the final objective.
Over all, I expected more from the book.
With respect to the book itself, it's a high quality binding, the satin paper seem to be high quality too, but I suggest you wash your hands and after use hand sanitizer. The paper is a finger print magnet, the kind that will be there when you reopen the book in a few decades.
