A review by bllittwit
Books of Blood, Vol. 1 by Clive Barker

4.0

Though I prefer to write novels, and enjoy reading them, I love reading short fiction collections to really get a feel for an author. I like the experimentation, the varied levels on which each piece succeeds. It's a blast. Barker's first collection succeeds on all the aforementioned fronts and serves as a great introduction to his style and abilites. The man has a corner on grotesquely poetic imagery. Required reading for horror fans. Good stuff.
