Audiobook. 4.5 rounded up to 5.

It's pretty dated at times (I flinch to hear someone referred to as 'a black'!) and it's increasingly silly when American narrators read extremely British writing... but these are some of the best stories of the bunch, banger after banger (until the last one, which runs out of steam halfway through imo).

There's always a lot of sexual situations in Barker's stories, but this batch was particularly horny lol

Most of the stories were kitschy, gory fun but the last story - "Human Remains" - was also an introspective yarn about identity and performance.
