Solid collection that's all over the map genre-wise. Might be my second favourite Book of Blood after the first. Only one left to go before tackling his novels.

Clive Barker has always been more miss than hit and this collection was no exception. However, When the story hit it's a classic and the same is also true here with The Forbidden being a true classic but the other stories were slightly dull and disappointing.
