Books of Blood, Vols. 1-3, by Clive Barker

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: I give it an above average instead of average because the good ones are enough to make up for the bad ones.
Review: Originally meant to be six volumes, when Clive Barker's Books of Blood short story collections came to America, they were published with the first 3 packaged as Books of Blood vols. 1-3, and vols. 4-6 were published as their own short story...

An Excellent Collection of Short Stories

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2001
The Bottom Line: An interesting, attention grabbing collection of short horror stories. Not for little children.
Review: "Books of Blood" were my second Barker (the first was "Weaveworld"). They held me from the first page and turned me into a horror freak. Believe it or not, before them I didn?t even like horror.

The very idea that all these stories, except...

Poetic Mayhem, Springs of Blood

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: Shutttter.....
Review: Not to beat around the bush, but this book royally screwed with my head for a long, long time. I was unfortunate enough to have picked up one of the three books that make up the compilation, back when I was very, very young.

Reading Raw...

Great modern horror stories

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2000
Review: Clive Barker is an incredible visionary. He's an excellent writer with a powerful voice who has brought his unique conceptions of storytelling to the horror genre, and the "Books of Blood" are the works where he best displays his talent.

He...

Brilliant

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 1999
Review: This basically is a collection of short stories by one of this century's brightest horror writer of all. Granted he's English and granted that he's not as popular as King or Koontz, but for all, he has made an impressive mark in the works of...

Books of Blood Leaves You Wanting More! More! More!

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2000
Review: Okay, I've been a big fan of Clive Barker ever since reading his brilliant work, Imajica. His style of writing be it horror, drama, or even children's stories, are a breath of fresh air. I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of Clive Barkers...

Essential reading

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2000
Review: Clive Barker begins where H.P. Lovecraft leaves off. Weaving thick imagery with complex mythologies and histories, Barker immerses the reader in a tapestry of horror, always suggesting rather than telling. Sometimes challenging, the "Books of Blood"...

At his least complicated best!

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2000
Review: Clive Barker's Books of Blood give us a glimpse into the extraordinary imagination that went on to create the fantastic voyages his later books take us on.

Each of the short stories in these books is as different from one another as night...

One sick puppy, man

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: Gruesome and shocking, but hey, so's Eminem and Jerry Springer.
Review: I'm an avid Stephen King fan, but sometimes I make excursions to other horror authors' books just to check out the competition. The Books of Blood, bluntly put, scared the crap out of me. It had some pretty gruesome stuff in it, like monsters from...
