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 ... From the brilliant World Fantasy Award winner Clive Barker come fourteen spine-chilling stories of darkness unleashed, gathered together in one volume for the first time. These are visionary tales of terror which will curdle the very marrow in your bones ... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

These latter Books of Blood are a bit uneven storywise. Interestingly, the best stories of the omnibus seem to be condensed into the fifth book of blood. There we find the dense and amazing "The forbidden", which was to become the movie "Candyman", the weird, sexual, and agonizing "The Madonna", the unsually funny "Babel's Children" (Barker shows his humorous side, which is too often buried), and "In the Flesh", the strongest tale of the book, which manifests all of Barker's fortes: The weird, the psychological, and the mundane turned evil.
The other two books of blood are not quite up to the par of the fifth, but are interesting reads nonetheless. ( )
