A review by shauneebroadley
Books of Blood, Volumes 1-3 by Clive Barker

dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I did fall asleep a good few times with this book, I didn’t want to put it down. Though i wont be diving into to read the 2nd book just yet I feel like it was never ending at some points especially in stories I didn’t really care about. Here is a list of my favourite stories from all 3 volumes 

vol. 1

The Yattering and Jack
Sex, Death and Starshine
In the Hills, the Cities

vol. 2

Dread
New Murders in the Rue Morgue

vol. 3

Rawhead Rex
Confessions of a (Pornographer's) Shroud
Human Remains
