Books Of Blood Omnibus 1
Books Of Blood Omnibus 1 | Clive Barker
Here are the stories written on the Book of Blood. They are a map of that dark highway that leads out of life towards unknown destinations. Few will have to take it. Most will go peacefully along lamplit streets, ushered out of living with prayers and caresses. But for a few, the horrors will come, skipping, to fetch them off to the highway of the damned ... Gathered together for the first time in one volume, here are fifteen mind-shattering stories from the awesome imagination of World Fantasy Award winning author Clive Barker. They will take you to the brink - and beyond ...

This arrived in my post today. I‘ve not read much Barker, you?

I‘m trying to catch up on Candyman lore, which was birthed in Clive Barker‘s short story, “The Forbidden", from Volume Five.

I‘m ready for Halloween already. ???

My first Barker book and I was not disappointed.

My favourites were

The midnight meat train
Dread
Son of celluloid
Rawhead Rex

Some really gruesome but awesome stories!

Glad I managed to get in a little reading at the park before it started raining.

Today‘s author spotlight: Clive Barker! The 67-year-old was born in Liverpool, UK. He was the executive producer for the movie “Gods & Monsters”. You may know he created the Hellraiser franchise, but did you know he also created the Candyman one? Besides being a prolific author, he‘s also a prolific artist, with paintings having been shown in #NYC. He‘s been happily with his partner, Johnny Raymond Jr., since 2009. #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow

Ok, I switched things up. I was feeling a little off so I went to the dark side: one of Clive Barker's short story collections, the Books of Blood v. 1-3, which was mentioned in one of the panels I attended at Comic-Con International this weekend. We'll see how this goes. I'm not opposed to horror if it is well-written. Here's a quote for you from the book. Wow.

Boyfriend's dad lent me two of his favourite books of Clive Barker's short stories. So naturally I jumped in, the first book has obviously been well loved and shows signs of being read again and again. So high hopes of some big scares within these pages!

Not a quote directly from the Books Of Blood, but from the author on horror in general. I think it's very true.
