Books of Blood: Volumes One to Three by Clive Barker

3.0

I REALLY struggled with this rating. I LIKED THIS BOOK, and the Book of Blood 1 in particular was spectacular. I did struggle through and ultimately sort of skip some of the stories in books 2-3, they were a little less character focused and sort of boring to me. Barker does great at metaphysical weirdness and Chronenburg body horror, but some of the short stories fell flat and focused on weirdness over substance for me personally.

I would absolutely read more of his work- hes a genius, but this was a little bit TOO much of him at once for me.
