1. This book has beautiful and accurate descriptions about the motifs of that period along with the first hand photographs of the motifs of that time. It is very informative and written in a easy to understand manner.

   I would encourage all libraries and History Departments to review this book.

2 comments about Daughters of Darkness 3 - A Gallery Girls Book (Gallery Girls Collection).

1. Daughters of Darkness Vol. 3 is yet another outstanding Gallery Girls collection from SQ Productions. This series focuses on the evil ladies: vampires, demons, wicked witches and more, all done with the usual sexiness and sensuality by SQP's brilliant lineup of artists. The book is off to a rousing start with a dark, brooding cover of a demoness by the supremely talented Dorian Cleavenger. The roll call of artists in this edition include: Blas Gallego, Boada, Capdevila, Pedro Cuevas, Sean Gallimore, Dave Hoover, Pelaez, and Daniel Pascarelli.
   
   The great Pelaez sets the tone for the interior with her mesmerizing dark angel in thigh high leather boots. Ovi Hondro's chilling piece features a lovely vampire with a forked tongue drinking from a chalice filled with fresh blood. Maraschi gives us a depraved sorceress, topless and casting a spell while two large spiders crawl over her body.
   
   Pedro Cuevas ratchets up the eroticism with his piece showing two nude demons cavorting on a bed; Gallimore checks in with his illustration of a beautiful, topless, bat-winged vampire that is a true eye-popper. Boada's highlight is a nude blonde, bound by chains as a nude brunette dominatrix in garter and stockings caresses her temptingly. Pelaez then comes back with another exquisite pin-up...this time of a dark, nude vampire wearing a headdress of holly and ivy with the numbers 666 tattooed on her behind.
   
   Daughters of Darkness puts the ladies in the realm of true malevolence and vice but as always they are beautiful, curvaceous, and the object of every man's desire. But be careful or you just might get bit!

2. First of all, I would like to tell everyone that this book contains BLACK AND WHITE DRAWINGS only. I bought it expecting at least a few illustrations in full colour like the amazing looking cover.

   As for the actual drawings themselves, I liked a couple of them but there was not really anything that I found as good or as satisfying as the cover. It's not exactly bad art, but I just didn't find anything that was particularly interesting. Just your standard fantasy females.

   Overall I'd say I found the book rather disappointing. It needed a lot more darkness and nastiness and weird creatures and evil beings, etc.

   This is one of those books you end up hanging onto only because you like the cover. (This is what I am now doing.)
