Genre: Horror From back cover: With the 1984 publication of Books of Blood, Clive Barker became an overnight literary sensation. His tour de force collection of brilliantly disturbing tales demonstrated a genius for dark invention that rivaled Poe and Sade. He was hailed by Stephen King as "the future of horror," and won both the British and World Fantasy Awards. Clive Barker's Books of Blood marked the beginning of a career that would transcend genre and media. As a screenwriter and director, he launched the phenomenal Hellraiser series of films. As a gifted artist, he inspired an aclaimed collection of graphic novels. But it is his powerful writing style and arresting imagery that have made Books of Blood an instant classic-and Clive Barker a cult phenomenon. Read him. And rediscover the true meaning of fear. "Barker's eye is unblinking: he drags our terrors from the shadows and forces us to look upon them and despair or laugh with relief."THE WASHING TON PosT "Mixing elements of horror, science fiction and surrealist literature, Barker's work reads like cross berween Stephen King and South American novelist Gabriel Garci Mrquez. He creates a world where our biggest fears appear to be our own dreams."-Bos TON HERA LD "Mr. Barker is much more than a genre writer, and his extravagantly unconventional inventions are ingenious refractions of our common quest to experience and understand the mysterious world around us and the mysteries within ourselves." -THE NEW YORK TIMEs BoOK REVIEW "Clive Barker assaults our senses and our psyche, seeking not so much to tingle our spine as to snap it altogether."-L0S ANGELES TIMES "Outstanding,..a powerful and fascinating writer with a brilliant imagination." -J.G.
