The sadistic perception that Clive Barker presents about horror will make you shiver from head to toe. The stories contained in the "Books of Blood" will burrow into a corner of your soul and stubbornly remain there - no matter how much you want to be freed from his stories, from the moment you start reading them, they will have already captured a piece of your soul that, no matter what it does, will not be able to escape. His almost poetic and literary prose, the quality of his writing, the utterly convincing characters, his humor, the fact that what the author envisions is effortlessly imprinted in these texts in a unique cinematic way, addict the reader, making them surrender unconditionally to his stories until the last word.

Each of the stories found in the six volumes of the "Books of Blood" will fish out from your subconscious your well-buried and repressed fears. It is an epic collection of the macabre. From the moment you start reading, you are forced to walk the dark paths of existence that the author generously offers. The worst part is that you will return tormentingly again and again to these paths, as no one can read a Clive Barker book just once.
