Overview: Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we’re opened, we’re red.” For those who only know Clive Barker through his long multigenre novels, this one-volume edition of the Books of Blood is a welcome chance to acquire the 16 remarkable horror short stories with which he kicked off his career. For those who already know these tales, the poignant introduction is a window on the creator’s mind. Reflecting back after 14 years, Barker writes:
I look at these pieces and I don’t think the man who wrote them is alive in me anymore…. We are all our own graveyards I believe; we squat amongst the tombs of the people we were. If we’re healthy, every day is a celebration, a Day of the Dead, in which we give thanks for the lives that we lived; and if we are neurotic we brood and mourn and wish that the past was still present.
Reading these stories over, I feel a little of both. Some of the simple energies that made these words flow through my pen–that made the phrases felicitous and the ideas sing–have gone. I lost their maker a long time ago.
