A review by nathan01
Books of Blood: Volume One by Clive Barker

4.0

Barker joins the likes of King and Matheson in completely redefining my expectations of the horror genre, effectively shattering my prejudices against it. This is an insanely well written collection. Every story is great, packed with meaning and metaphor. Often all it takes is the failure to acknowledge a single sentence for the entire story to go over the reader's head. And this doesn't take away from the fact that these are just entertaining stories to read in general.
