About this book

What it feels like to read.

A collection rather than a single narrative, Books of Blood moves through independent tales of monsters, haunted places, bodily transformation, forbidden desire, and ordinary people crossing into impossible worlds. Clive Barker mixes macabre wit with graphic, imaginative horror and a persistent sense that reality has thin walls.
