Books/Films/Plays/... influenced by the Sisters

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Hi there,
I hope I'm not double posting, but I haven't found a topic on this yet.

How about collecting books/movies/plays/poems... that have been influenced by and/or cite them? I'm not talking about biographies or fanzine collections, but works of fiction.

One example would be this book: "Rauhnächte" by Christa Schmidt . The protagonist at one point dances to "Vision Thing" (the book is in Germann though).

Another example is "Wölfe vor der Stadt" by Ulrike Serowy (also in German). It includes an excerpt from Flood I.

Do you know more?

Ben's there doing that, but this chap has a play on in Düsseldorf, Rainald Goetz, and in one of his earlier books, Hirn I think it is, he includes a Merciful Release ad, from around '84 I think - sorry my books are in storage so I cannot access it.
his newest book, though, I have here, Johann Holtrop, and it is good. that's the one the play is based on. and him reading his own stuff is probably better than most actors
