This is, for all intents and purpose, just a selection of Book of Blood stories presented word-for-word with bigger illustrations. They're pretty good! The best results come from the ones you've heard of (Midnight Meat Train; In the Hills, The Cities is tackled with particularly effective gusto), and it's hard not to hanker for some of the more outlandish missing stories (Jacqueline Ess, Rawhead Rex, and particularly Confessions of a Pornographer's Shroud would be an absolute hoot). If you like Barker, though - and I do! - this is a perfectly fine time, and you'll get your fill of Hell, high-falutin' musing and hot young lads going at it.

Clive Barker's brilliance comes across better in the text. The graphic adaptations don't match the intensity and horror that Barker so fluidly conveys in the text. They're simply okay.
