The Books of Blood, Vol. 1, by Clive Barker

Categorized in:

Clive Barker's books of blood vol. 1

I first read these stories in my early teens; coming back to them reveals the relative rawness of Barker’s craft here and his influence on my thinking about horror. These stories embody a great horror-writing truism: always have one greater horror to present after the one you’ve been building to is employed.
