Books Of Blood, The

Synopsis:
Two stories from Baker's 'The Books of Blood'. 'Dread' - What are you really afraid of? Quaid, a student of philosophy, is interested to know. Very interested. For Quaid, there is no delight the equal of DREAD, as long as it's someone else's. Cheryl Fromm's for instance. Quaid will teach her the meaning of DREAD and no one will hear her screams. Not even Quaid's friend Stephen Grace, though he should have. Perhaps then he could have saved himself. 'The Forbidden' - Sweets for the sweet..Helen Buchanan is writing her thesis on graffiti and human despair. In number 14 Butt's Court on the run down Spector Street housing estate, Helen will discover the meaning of this repeatedly scrawled phrase. But her disbelief in the urban legend of the Candyman, the mysterious figure with a hook where his hand should be, will bring her face to face with true terror. This story was made into the film, 'Candyman'.

Trials Of Oscar Wilde, The

Synopsis:
All trials are trials for one's life, just as all sentences are sentences of death, and three times I have been tried. Oscar Wilde, De Profundis. On the 18th of February 1895, the Marquis of Queensberry, father of Wilde s close friend Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie), left a visiting card at the Albermarle Club. It read, "to Oscar Wilde posing as a Somdomite". This accusation led directly to Wilde's prosecution of Queensberry for criminal libel, a second trial, Regina vs Wilde and Taylor for gross indecency, and ultimately to the catastrophic events of the third trial and the imprisonment of Wilde. He was to die in Paris 5 years later at the age of 46. Compiled from the original transcripts, The Trials of Oscar Wilde recreates the wit, humour, prejudice and deceit of the combative and sensational atmosphere of the court.
