5.0

Brilliant. Bloody brilliant. Clive Barker writes horror that truly terrifies; his stories aren't cheap thrills, but literary-horror blends that make you think as well as pull the covers over your head. Sex and death almost always go together, as do thrills and disgust, curiosity and foreboding. These stories, with all their gore and existential musings, will forever be imprinted in my soul.

Favorites:
"The Yattering and the Jack"
"Pig Blood Blues"
"Sex, Death and Starshine"
"Hell's Event"
"Confessions of a (Pornographer's) Shroud"

"Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we're opened, we're red."--Clive Barker
