- The books of blood were good.
- To put it simply they were clive barkers best writings.
- In my opinion this is because he had not tried to become popular.
- Even barker who is my idol has moderated his writing and in doing so lost
- some of his style.
- The Books of blood were grity and dam right nasty. I have read all 6
- of them and I recomend any true horror fan to do the same.
