In the first real insight into the mind of one of the most disturbing killers of recent years, Lisa told us how 35-year-old Coutts.ĬRAFTILY concealed his obsession with violent sexual images on the Net. "He told me that he got excited by it and with the available websites anyone can access, it would have been easy for him to explore his fantasies. Something happened to him as a kid when he saw a film showing a woman being strangled. Lisa, 37 - who gave birth to Graham's twin sons while he was awaiting trial and let him cuddle them while behind bars - added: "I'm not in denial. "There was a seed of thought in Graham's head already and he used the Internet to explore it and expand it." "I want the sites shut down, if not for adults then at least for children - that's the key. Rape and necrophilia websites are easy to access. "Graham channelled his sexuality along the wrong route that is dangerous. Speaking exclusively to The People after Coutts was jailed for a minimum 30 years, Lisa said: "If children are exposed to certain material it will affect them for the rest of their lives. Teacher Lisa Stephens wants the Net to be regulated to save children from turning into monsters like Coutts - who strangled her best friend Jane Longhurst then defiled her body. ![]() As for me, I appreciate how eclectic Jeanette Winterson is and I’ll definitely be seeking out more of her work.THE lover of perverted killer Graham Coutts last night called for the obscene websites that fuelled his twisted lust to be banned from the Internet. I didn’t know that when I started reading but it didn’t matter (I really like horror,) but it might not be other people’s cup of tea. Keep in mind that this book actually has strong elements of horror, there are demons, sentient body parts, and an orgy with Satan. At first I thought this book was going to be more along the lines of blameless women being falsely accused of witchcraft and subsequently victimized, so I was surprised that a lot of the characters who were being singled out actually were practicing witchcraft and worshipping Satan and furthermore, many of them came off as legitimately repulsive.Īs horrible as the group of Satanists were (particularly in what they allow to be done to one little girl,) the sheer level of atrocity that’s perpetrated upon them makes the officials who brutalize them still stand out as the real monsters. He and Alice want to run away together to a place they’ll be safe from their pursuers, but Alice is also bound to one of the witches, and considers it her duty to save the lives of the people she feels responsible for.Īs I said, this novel’s characters are largely devoid of any redeeming qualities, but I had a sort of grudging respect for Christopher and Alice because of their astonishing level of loyalty. Then Alice’s ex-lover Christopher shows up, a former Jesuit priest who was in on the plot to kill Guy Fawkes and has since been subjected to days of torture and mutilation as punishment for his crimes. It’s set during a series of witch-hunts in 1612, where King James 1st wants witches and Catholics alike hunted down like dogs and slaughtered.Ī wealthy woman named Alice Nutter is letting a dirt-poor rabble of people live in a building on her grounds, and even though the people she is harboring are accused of being witches and she’s considered an accomplice she is oddly determined to keep what is essentially a filthy, ignorant, and incestuous family safe from the authorities. Well, on that happy note, I actually thought this book was pretty good. Basically no one in this book is good, and things immediately spiral deeper and deeper into depravity until there’s no way out for anyone. The Daylight Gate is not for the faint of heart, and among the rape, child abuse, torture, and nonstop violence there is also a profound sense of amorality and hopelessness. Holy shit, I figured this book was going to be dark but it was about a thousand times more gruesome than I had expected. TW: Rape, Incest, Torture, Suicide, Pedophilia ![]()
