While not every story was a revelation, none of them were boring in the slightest which is achievement in a book of sixteen stories. All were interesting, bizarre and unsettling in their own way. ( ) Volume 1- 3stars Volume 2- 4 stars Volume3- 4 stars I definitely think that Barker has a tendency to over explain. There were many stories that I would have liked more if a little mystery was left for the reader to think about. Barker's need to wrap everything up nicely often pushed the story over into ridiculous territory because the explanation was absurd. Overall, I enjoyed most of these short stories (especially in volumes 2 &3), and am glad I read them. I first read most of these short stories as a teenager in the 90s, and Clive Barker has been my favorite fiction author ever since. Over two decades later, I enjoyed the Books of Blood threefold more than when I first read them. Simply put, Barker is more inspiring and imaginative in one line than most authors are in an entire book. As far as horror and dark literature goes, there is no equal. His combination of creepy suspense, existential doom, physical gore, and paradoxes of human emotion (often all in one story) is undeniably powerful. Add to that his boundless imagination and precise imagery, and you have tales that prompt fear and provoke thought in ways that are simultaneously entertaining and enlightening. Revisiting Books of Blood was both nostalgic and invigorating for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys dark fiction that goes way beyond the simple scares.

Este volumen reúne las mejores historias cortas de Clive Barker, fruto de dieciocho meses de trabajo nocturno, ya que por el día Barker se dedicaba a escribir obras de teatro. Relatos como “El Tren de Carne de Medianoche”, una historia enraizada en las películas de terror más explícitas, “El blues de la sangre de cerdo”, mezcla alucinada de «El señor de las moscas» y «La naranja mecánica», “Terror”, de un sadismo entre lo explícito y el voyeurismo, o “Restos humanos”, obra maestra de la ficción macabra moderna, han aupado a Clive Barker al oscuro Olimpo del género.
