A review by mikel_pfeiffer
Books of Blood: Volume One by Clive Barker

5.0

This year I came up with the idea to read short stories during the month of February. Short stories for a short month. I was going to just read random stories from various collections but decided to start with The Books of Blood vol.1. I devoured Clive Barker books many years ago and most of his short stories I remember liking. I'm sure BoBv1 is a re-read for me but the tales are still as fresh and startling as ever. I really enjoyed all of them with my favorite being Pig Blood Blues. Barker's got a way with vivid descriptions for grotesque horror that few others can match.
