Books of Blood, Vol. 1 by Clive Barker
5.0

This was my second Barker read this year (and ever), and the man does not disappoint! All of these short stories were excellently executed. The only one I didn't quite care for was "Sex, Death, and Starshine," but I think it would resonate well with readers who have a theater background. It's tough to choose a favorite from the others in this collection. There is gore, humor, tension, grief, dread - all weaved into such creative, unique stories. I'm looking forward to reading the other Volumes in the future.
