Clive Barker's Books of Blood

by Clive Barker


ISBN: 0425087395
ISBN-13: 9780425087398
Format: Paperback

Summary

The first three books of Clive Barker's now-legendary "Book of Blood" series. With these collections of short stories, Barker almost single-handedly rerouted horror fiction, combining the darkest visions of humanity and the beyond with a perverse sense of the blackest humor. Responses to these stories have ranged from the highest praise-from many reviewers, including the New York Times, and many other writers such as Stephen King-to the books being banned.

At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales
by H. P. Lovecraft

A complete short novel, AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS is a tale of terror unilke any other. The Barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless--or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found the strange fossils of unheard-of creatures...and the carved stones tens of millions of years old...and, finally, the mind-blasting terror of the City of the Old Ones. Three additional strange tales, written as only H.P. Lovecraft can write, are also included in this macabre collection of the strange and the weird.

14) Books of Blood Vol 2
Barker, Clive

New York: Berkley Pub Group, 1987. The book does get off to a rousing start with Dread, a somewhat sadistic tale of one man's obsession with death and the fear of it. According to the mysterious grad student Quaid, true philosophy, not what passes for philosophy in the universities, is a beast; everything really comes down to one thing only, which is fear. So begins Quaid's personal instruction course of Dread 101. His is a hands-on endeavor, as he seeks to look the beast directly in the eye by studying the effects of dread and the realization of imminent death in the eyes of his fellow man, the closest two representatives of which are two of his "students." Dread is a psychologically disturbing read, one which succeeds quite well indeed in spite of a rather pat ending. From this point, the book is all downhill. Hell's Event tells the story of a charity race, only this is no ordinary race. Once every century, this particular race pits a minion of the underworld against human runners, with the state and control of the whole government hinging upon the outcome. Much like Stephen King's The Long Walk, it does not pay to finish behind the winner, for truly to the victor go the spoils. Next up is Jacqueline Ess: Her Last Will and Testament, a story in which the main character's very special abilities for controlling her environment and those in it winds up wasted with little to show for the effort. The Skins of the Fathers is not a bad story, but it is quite on the weird side. A sometimes almost comical group of inhuman, bizarre creatures comes to a small desert town to reclaim one of their own, born five years earlier to its human mother. A puffed up sheriff and belligerent posse of townsfolk lend comic relief as much as tension to the story's plot of borderline absurdity. The final story here is New Murders in the Rue Morgue, and it is almost surely the worst piece of fiction Clive Barker ever wrote. The protagonist is a retired artist and, so we are told, descendant of M. Dupin. - An Amazon Reviewer.. Spine Line/sm Tear spine/tan pg/rubs. Mass Market Paperback. Acceptable. (more information)
