Few authors can claim to have marked a genre so thoroughly and personally that their words have leaked into every aspect of modern pop culture. Clive Barker is such an author, and the Books of Blood marked his debut - his coming out to the world - in brilliant, unforgettable fashion. Crossroad Press is proud to present Clive Barker's Books of Blood as an audiobook for the first time.

The Books of Blood combine the ordinary with the extraordinary while radiating the eroticism that has become Barker's signature. Weaving tales of the everyday world transformed into an unrecognizable place, where reason no longer exists and logic ceases to explain the workings of the universe, Clive Barker provides the stuff of nightmares in packages too tantalizing to resist.

Never one to shy away from the unimaginable or the unspeakable, Clive Barker breathes life into our deepest, darkest nightmares, creating visions that are at once terrifying, tender, and witty. The Books of Blood confirm what horror fans everywhere have known for a long time: We will be hearing from Clive Barker for many years to come.

I have recently taken a deep dive into the original 1972 movie “Candyman” which lead me to Clive Barker and of course his 5th book which includes his story that was the inspiration for the movie. I’m so happy that I listened to these stories as opposed to even reading them myself because hearing the spoken words makes it even more boon chilling. Will definitely listen to his other books.

Love Clive Barker, love all his stories, the 1st narrator has the Mic WAY too close to her face or something. I can hear her face stretching and moving like one of Barker's creatures. My skin crawled everytime she swallowed (every 30 seconds). Maybe I'm being picky but I listen to books 24/7 and can't remember another time this was so obvious and annoying. Anyway the stories are great, just like the other volumes. But if you're buying this for the CANDYMAN story (one of my least favorite anyway) listen to it somewhere else.

Stories Great! Narration needs help

I didn't know Clive Barker created Candyman! Another great collection of disturbing horror short stories.

Here is a man who makes humans seem like something to be. readers are presented with their own horrible meat by a master artist allowing us to accept life through a perspective of awesome and terrible scope.

beutifull work

Not a big fan of the readers on this one at ALL. Not great by any standard, definitely not for Barker.

Jeffrey Kafer and Scott Oneil shouldn't be reading

In order to prompt the inevitable accusations of bias, I want to preface this by stating that I am an American. The writing was superb, up to the same standards of Books of Blood 1-4 and most of Clive's work. Having said that, this was the hardest book for me to get through (and I own Hannibal!) MANY pronunciations were beyond cringeworthy, some of which were not even Britain specific words or phrases. I finished it as a tribute to Barker, but I was ready to just shut it off after the gross mispronunciation of Thames and a word as basic as "inexorably." Was there no editing on the narration? Does nobody oversee these recordings?? Unfortunately, I will likely not be listening to this one again. Stick to the paper copy.

American narrators BUTCHER Clive Barker's work

My second ever Barker novel, The Hellbound Heart the other. Some good stuff here for sure but also to me Barker's writing is not my style. He has a great imagination and very detailed and absorbing but his use of vocabulary can be annoying. It almost seems if he is purposely using huge and rare used words to try to impress us but I just think it's annoying and useless. Sometimes I feel I need to have dictionary handy! The Forgotten for which the film Candyman was based upon was a descent story but reading if now years after the movie, I can't help but feel letdown, I wanted more! The story of the lady kidnapped and in fact finds out of the world's Apocalypse that is thwarted by unusual sources by the most unusual of people instead of our supposed leaders was good to start to only be a big silly let down. To me that was the worst, easily. In the Flesh was pretty good if too long.

Two interesting stories (the second and the last). Though this is as scary as a cat in broad daylight. Narrated very well.

Disappointing
