Books of Blood, Volumes 1-3
by Clive Barker
“Every body is a book of blood;
Wherever we’re opened, we’re red.”
Collecting the first three volumes of Clive Barker’s ‘Books Of Blood’ into a single paperback, this is a masterclass of horror writing. The short stories contained within range from disturbingly atmospheric and darkly humorous to sickeningly depraved and overwhelmingly gory. Legendary for pushing boundaries in the 80’s, this is a collection that remains frighteningly visceral by modern standards and continues to push boundaries.
Highlights for me include ‘The Midnight Meat Train’, ‘The Yattering And Jack’, ‘Jacqueline Ess: Her Will And Testament’, ‘The Skins Of The Fathers’ and ‘Rawhead Rex’.
