Book Description

Feb 1 1988
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 ...

Fairly mixed bag of hit and miss stories here. Barker is a very competent writer no doubt, just thought he did a marginally better job in the first three volumes. Good but not great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will the Real Master of Horror Please Stand Up July 2 2012
By James D. Pratt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Clive Barker is best known for the Hellraiser movies which is sort of a mixed blessing. I assume he's made piles of cash off of Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites, but Barker's real strength lies in his writing, most of which is far more visceral than overt and just wouldn't translate well to the big screen. He isn't so much a horror author as an amazing writer who happens to set most of his tales in the horror genre. Even his mediocre stories consist of a decent hook bolsterd by clever pose and imagery ranging from artfully understated to squirm-inducingly vivid. As it turned out I'd already read some of these stories as part of another Barker collection ('Books of Blook vol. 5' contains the same stories as 'The Inhuman Condition', I believe), but it was fun to revisit them. Stand-out stories include 'Revelations' (I love Barker's take on ghosts and hauntings), 'Down Satan!' (a quick little tale about obsession), 'In the Flesh' (a weird tale that would have done H.P. Lovecraft proud), and 'The Life of Death' (a great demonstration of the fine art of dread). Long story short, Barker rules.

Clive Barker is undoubtly the best horror and fantasy writers of our time.All of the stories in this collection are top notch. I had the original books of blood when they came out but,unfortunately lost them during a move so thank god for these compilations. I also have the 1-3 compilation and give it the same review. Get both

I'm a fan of Clive Barker's work and here I thought there were only three volumes to the Books of Blood... I'm late but I still enjoyed this immensely...
