The Books of Blood, Volume 2

De: Clive Barker

Narrado por: Hillary Huber, John Lee, Peter Berkrot, Chris Patton, Peter Bishop, Jeffrey Kafer

The Books of Blood combine the ordinary with the extraordinary while radiating the eroticism that has become Barker's signature. Weaving tales of the everyday world transformed into an unrecognizable place, where reason no longer exists and logic ceases to explain the workings of the universe, Clive Barker provides the stuff of nightmares in packages too tantalizing to resist.

Never one to shy away from the unimaginable or the unspeakable, Clive Barker breathes life into our deepest, darkest nightmares, creating visions that are at once terrifying, tender, and witty.

The Books of Blood confirm what horror fans everywhere have known for a long time: We will be hearing from Clive Barker for many years to come.

another banger from clive

i dont know what to tell you clive is a great world builder when it comes to his stories

Standard Clive Barker goodness

Dread: excellent, the ending is far different from the film, and I was quite pleasantly surprised.

Hell's Race: Meh. Very meh.

Will and Testament: A lovely ode to violence akin to The Wishmaster.

The Skins of the Fathers: Oh yes! So good. The ending should be iconic horror by now.

New Murders of the Rue Morgue: Thoroughly engaging, thought provoking, and fun, even though it's not very horrific.

Detailed Horror Short Story Collection

The stories are very detailed and disturbing. Wide assortment of stories. What an imagination Clive Barker has!

Great As Always

Great stories! Clive Barker at his best. Just as good as the first volume. I fully recommend this collection to any fan of horror. People call King the king, but Barker could have easily dethroned him if he had a bigger audience.

A very good follow up to Volume One

Not quite as tightly plotted as Volume one, but still beautifully written, and the performances are absolutely top notch.

Great anthology

I find his work imaginative and well paced. I wish other horror writers understood that you can be chilling and not over do the background of the character and location.

Barker at his best

One of the best collections of short stories in horror
Excellent narration from a fantastic cast I highly recommend getting the audiobook versions
I received a free review audiobook and voluntarily left this review
