He had seen her wake in the morning like a slut, and pick murdered men from between her teeth, and suicides from the tangles of her hair." (.) Let's take a look at how Clive Barker, through Leon, describes New York City. I often this type of description dull and uninspiring. Often I read some people describing a city by the cars, highways, shapes and material of buildings etc. Notes: There is a great description of New York City that I want to highlight. The story ends with Leon meeting the monsters under the city and he becomes enticed by them, taking up the mantle of a new 'butcher.' The two men fight which results in Leon killing the serial killer. As the story progresses Leon falls asleep on the subway and wakes up to witness the serial killer at work. ![]() He kills people in order to feed monstrous entities that live under the city. ![]() As the story progresses we meet another Character who is a serial killer. Summary: The MC Leon is a disenchanted person who after moving to New York City (which he calls The Palace of Delights) to only learn it is just like any other type of city. Today I'll be looking at his short Story, The Midnight Meat Train. Welcome to Part Three of my study on Clive Barker. ![]()
