Nebula nails. Done by hand with four colours, white & black

You have but to open your eyes, brothers and sisters. The truth is that the Devil is here. The Anti-Christ, the Child of Lies, the Son of Darkness walks among us cloaked in the flesh of a man. Does the Lord not weep at this degradation? Does He not tremble with righteous fury? And shall he not seek retribution? I open my eyes and I see a black sky that tears apart and screams with a voice that is thunder, ‘Rise up, rise up brothers and sisters and take your place at my side. For you shall be my scythe and your face shall shine like a thousand suns and the streets shall be sanctified by the steaming black blood of the heretics.’
Brother Justin Crowe

NOVELS

• Sleeping Dogs by Sonya Hartnett explores the incestuous relationship between two siblings, Jordan and Michelle Willow, who live in an abusive, bleak and isolated household. This was the first book that introduced me to the concept of incest as a debatable topic.
• Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov is the ultimate and epitomised discussion of paedophilia and incest one can hope to ever find. I would recommend this to anybody.
• Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle by Vladimir Nabokov is Nabokov’s longest work, and explores the life-long relationship between a brother and sister.

REPORTS & MEDICAL JOURNALS

• Genetic Counseling and Screening of Consanguineous Couples and Their Offspring: Recommendations of the National Society of Genetic Counselors. This report helps dispel some of the more widely believed conceptions about the effect incest has on the genetics of children; the facts are quite a lot lower than one might expect.
• ‘A genetic report should cause a rethinking of incest laws’ by Joanna L. Grossman is an article which analyses the findings of an incest and genetics medical report and re-evaluates its effect on law and society, and how we should reform our views.
• Incest in Criminology and Genetics published by Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law tackles the concept of incest in a criminal law setting and draws the conclusion that legalization of incestuous marriage would not be detrimental. Quite in-depth.

FILM & TELEVISION:

• To The Left of the Father (Lavoura Arcaica) is a Brazillian film which explores the relationship between two siblings. It is quite sympathetic, I am told.
• Taboo is an extensive series of porn films which deal with mother-son incest and father-daughter incest in an eroticised context. This link will lead you to Taboo II.
• Carnivàle is a (sadly discontinued) television series which deals with themes of incest as a sub-plot, and is otherwise brilliant.
  

This is your ultimate list, trust it and cherish it. Some of you might be interested to know Supernatural is included on this list. I think I definitely missed some things but this is okay. Hope this helped! :)
