Firstly: apologies for the size of this image but I think that the blurb for this book is relevent.

Secondly: I know that MOTBM is a stock reference book on many peoples bookshelves but, as this is my third copy (lent and lost first, Daughter of Darkness "borrowed" second), I was very excited to find a copy in a charity shop for £2!

Picked up the 1982 ABBA annual. It is in remarkably good condition. I will most likely give this to a fellow fan as he needs a boost at the moment. My good deed for the year

. Ahem.

Wouldn't a thicker book, like a dictionary, give him more of a boost?

Or as a music fan you could just burn it....

Not read this since I was in my late teens, so I bought it from Amazon a few days ago.

That’s the same edition I have, bought it brand new when it was published along with The Hellbound Heart with the misleading cover featuring a male Pinhead

Barkers description is that of a female in the novella, it was changed to male for the film so his mate Doug Bradley could play a main part

“Its voice, unlike that of its companion, was light and breathy-the voice of an excited girl. Every inch of its head had been tattooed with an intricate grid, and at every intersection of horizontal and vertical axes a jeweled pin driven through to the bone. Its tongue was similarly decorated.”

I've only read the book once many years back. Totally forgotten that.
