Books of Blood: Volumes One to Three by Clive Barker
3.0
3.5, real good. I assume that the volumes are organized chronologically, explaining the increase in quality as you go through the author's short stories. It was straight up satisfying to see Barker's growth as a writer as time passed.
Plenty of grotesque imagery that I savored and missed only moments after finishing the collection.
These are my favorite of the batch, and the ones that I consider most gruesome, brutal, and/or gross:
"In the Hills, the Cities"
"Hell's Event"
"Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament"
"The Skins of the Fathers"
"New Murders in the Rue Morgue"
"Rawhead Rex"
