I think even those who are not familiar with Nightbreed will enjoy this collection of short stories, but those who are fans will definitely enjoy various stories about what happens after the fall of Midian.

“When a monster is a monster he’s being true to his nature. When a human is a monster it’s far worse.”
Midian Unmade - Tales Of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed is an anthology featuring 23 stories which revisit some memorable characters in the most infamous place where the Nightbreed belong, Midian. These stories take a look at the lives of these monsters who are trying to figure out how they will survive after the events of Cabal. Some of these take place before that novel and many after.
Featured are a variety of not just extreme horror stories but also emotional ones which look at themes of belonging and loneliness, you feel the struggle and what it meant to the Nightbreed when Midian fell. These stories include ones written by Karl Alexander, Amber Benson, Nancy Hugo, Seanan McGuire, Weston Ochse, David J. Schow and many more. There’s also a an introduction by Clive Barker himself.
I enjoyed reading this book, it explores the story of the Nightbreed, it was interesting to see the different perspectives the authors took. A definite must read for fans of Cabal/Nightbreed.

Being a fan of Clive Barker and his story of the monsters of Midian in *Cabal* I just had to read these stories. Needless to say I wasn't disappointed. There are some hits and some misses but overall I enjoyed this collection of short stories about the survivors of the destruction of Midian.
