Essential to any Clive Barker collection. Amazingly twisted. My favorites are The Skin of our Fathers and Rawhead Rex.

I was very disappointed in this. I was expecting horror, straight I'm so scared I can't sleep horror. Instead it was more psychological. The only one that was a little scary was "Rawhead Rex".

Spooky Season, Pt. 4
Clive Barker is so depraved (compliment) that some of his works make me physically ill (compliment). The way he writes body horror is absolutely disgusting (compliment) and his stories are completely original and can only come from his fucked-up (compliment) mind. Horror at its finest.
Ratings for 2023:
1 Star: DNF and will be a hater.
2 Stars: Finished but I was annoyed.
3 Stars: It was good!
4 Stars: Loved it — you should check it out.
5 Stars: Amazing! Read this book!
