Description
Here are the stories written on the Book of Blood. They are a map of that dark highway that leads out of life towards unknown destinations. Few will have to take it. Most will go peacefully along lamplit streets, ushered out of living with prayers and caresses. But for a few, the horrors will come, skipping, to fetch them off to the highway of the damned ...
Gathered together for the first time in one volume, here are fifteen mind-shattering stories from the awesome imagination of World Fantasy Award winning author Clive Barker. They will take you to the brink - and beyond ...
A collection from the master of horror ... trust nothing except your fear...

Reviews
Clive Barker is an important, exciting and enormously talented writer. .. I literally could not read him alone. His stories are compulsively readable and original. He is an important, exciting and enormously talented writer ... What Barker does makes the rest of us look like we've been asleep for the last ten years * STEPHEN KING *
Gushing gore and flying flesh ... read it with gloves on ... This one will have your fingers twitching if you don't watch out * TIME OUT *
Clive Barker writes about horrors most of us would scarcely dare imagine ... He takes the horror story into places it has never gone before. He is one of the major writers of his generation * RAMSEY CAMPBELL *
From the start it's clear that Barker is in a class by himself * LOCUS *
