Clive Barker's Books of Blood: Volume One (Movie Tie-In)

Praise

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
