Reviews for The Venus Complex:
"Barbie Wilde – best known to the horror community as The Female Cenobite from Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 – has crafted a serial killer story every bit as warped as Level 26, as exacting as Harris’s “Hannibal” series and more sexually adventurous than Fifty f***ing Shades of Gray could ever hope to be." -Brutal As Hell

"But I think what I like most about this news story is that she kicked my ass so hard with her first novel. Turns out Barbie Wilde is even scarier than we thought. And that is a terrible, beautiful thing."
- New York Times bestselling author John Skipp, Fangoria Online

"A novel by a female Cenobite that gives the world a smart, artistic, cynical, cultured serial killer who could give Hannibal Lecter a run for his money. On top of that, this is a poignant, funny, sexually-charged, hardcore critique of popular culture and a deconstruction of relationships, academia, and art."
- Gabino Iglesias, HorrorTalk's Top Books of the Year

"The book has been garnering great reviews, firmly confirming the literary course that is now defining Wilde's life. Damaged people, ultraviolence, murder and explicit sex - what's not to love about her work?"  
- Chris Alexander, Editor-in-Chief, Fangoria Magazine, Issue #321

"Read the damn book. Watch every moview the lady's been in, read every antho in which this woman's appeared. Fall in love with tainted love and fight the frightfuls, The Venus Complex is, in every sense of the word, the real thing."
- Garrett Cook, The Imperial Youth Review
