Description: With the publication of Books of Blood, Clive Barker became an overnight literary sensation. His tour de force collection of brilliantly disturbing tales demonstrated a genius for dark invention that rivaled Poe and Sade. He was hailed by Stephen King as "the future of horror", and won both the British and World Fantasy Awards. Clive Barker's Books of Blood marked the beginning of a career that would transcend genre and media. As a screenwriter and director, he launched the phenomenal Hellraiser series of films. As a gifted artist, he inspired an acclaimed collection of graphic novels. But it is his powerful writing style and arresting imagery that have made Books of Blood a classic—and Clive Barker a cult phenomenon. Read him. And rediscover the true meaning of fear.
