Alright I'll Admit It, Clive Barker Owns
After not liking much of his movies (hellraiser series, lord of illusions, etc) but needing a new horror writer to read. I picked up the books of blood (volumes 1-3) and must say, now that im almost done with the first volume. He really does own. I really enjoy his writing style and the poetic flow of his literacy. He genuinly disturbed me a few times. Great recommendation guys thx.

I knew you'd love "Books of Blood"...;) I'm really glad you decided to give Barker a chance...For the record...I personally didn't care for "Sacrament"...Too far afield for me...Just my opinion...:)

I'm convinced and will be making a trip to my local bookshop in the next few days. For the novice to C.B., what do you suggest I start with - 'The Books of Blood' or something else? A few suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers

My whole family were obsessed with Cabal when it was first published! And I really liked Coldheart Canyon but I don't think many others did.

the thief of always is one of teh best books i have ever read. give that one a shot, it might not be as gruesome as most of his stuff, but regardless it is a great read.
