THE INSPIRATION FOR THE HULU ORIGINAL FILMRediscover the true meaning of fear in this collection of horror stories from Clive Barker, New York Times bestselling author and creator of the Hellraiser series. Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we' re opened, we' re red. In this tour de force collection of brilliantly disturbing tales, Clive Barker combines the extraordinary with the ordinary, bringing to life our darkest nightmares with stories that both seduce and devour. As beautiful as they are terrible, the pages of this volume are stained with unsettling imagery, macabre humor, and visceral dread. Here then are the stories written on the Book of Blood. Read, if it pleases you, and learn. . . . This Volume includes: "The Book of Blood" - "The Midnight Meat Train" - "The Yattering and Jack" - "Pig Blood Blues" - "Sex, Death and Starshine" - "In the Hills, the Cities"
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
