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...Gathered together in one volume, here are sixteen mind-shattering stories from the awesome imagination of World Fantasy Award winning author Clive Barker. They will take you to the brink – and beyond… Contents:- Foreword (May 1998) by Clive Barker- Introduction (May 1983) by Ramsey CampbellVolume 1- The Book of Blood (1984)- The Midnight Meat Train (1984)- The Yattering and Jack (1984)- Pig Blood Blues (1984)- Sex, Death and Starshine (1984)- In the Hills, the Cities (1984)Volume 2- Dread (1984)- Hell's Event (1984)- Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament (1984)- The Skins of the Fathers (1984)- New Murders in the Rue Morgue (1984)Volume 3- Son of Celluloid (1984)- Rawhead Rex (1984)- Confession of a (Pornographer's) Shroud (1984)- Scape-Goats (1984)- Human Remains (1984)
