Clive Barker's Books of Blood 1-3 Summary

Clive Barker's Books of Blood 1-3 by Clive Barker

Rediscover the true meaning of fear in this collection of horror stories from New York Times bestselling author Clive Barker.

The most provocative tales of terror ever published.-The Washington Post

Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we're opened, we're red...

With the publication of Books of Blood, Clive Barker became an overnight literary sensation. His tour de force collection of brilliantly disturbing tales demonstrated a genius for dark invention that rivaled Poe and Sade. He was hailed by Stephen King as the future of horror, and won both the British and World Fantasy Awards.

Now, with his numerous bestsellers, graphic novels, and hit movies like the Hellraiser films, Clive Barker has become an industry unto himself. It is his powerful writing style and arresting imagery that have made Books of Blood a classic-and Clive Barker a cult phenomenon.

Clive Barker's Books of Blood 1-3 Reviews

Praise for Clive Barker's Books of Blood

Our most accomplished purveyor of horror fiction.-The New York Times Book Review

He scares even me...What Barker does in the Books of Blood makes the rest of us look like we've been asleep for the last ten years. Some of the stories were so creepily awful that I literally could not read them alone; others go up and over the edge and into gruesome territory...He's an original.-Stephen King

Barker's dark, powerful imagination-and his skill in pacing to keep stories surprising-make the horror grisly and effective.-People

Barker's eye is unblinking; he drags out our terrors from the shadows and forces us to look upon them and despair or laugh with relief.-The Washington Post

Mixing elements of horror, science fiction and surrealist literature, Barker's work reads like a cross between Stephen King and South American novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He creates a world where our biggest fears appear to be our own dreams.-Boston Herald

Clive Barker assaults our senses and our psyche, seeking not so much to tingle our spine as to snap it altogether.-Los Angeles Times
