description: 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. These are visionary tales of terror which will curdle the very marrow in your bones...Contents:Volume 4- The Body Politic (1985)- The Inhuman Condition (1985)- Revelations (1985)- Down, Satan!
