Status Updates From I libri di sangue. Vol. 1-3

In the Hills, the Cities: 5/5 This was the first Barker thing I ever read and it's still great. I wanna see people-mechs fight irl

Dread: 5/5 Feels like a classic creepypasta in a good way

Hell's Event: 5/5 Would make a great short film

Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament: 100/10 Truly a banger. Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss

The Skins of the Fathers: 100/10 Also peak, this and Jacqueline are my favorites so far

So far, I'm hating this book with a passion.

The Yattering and Jack: 5/5 This is the story that has made me a fan of Clive Barker, the absolutely perfect marriage of comedy and depravity is so very for-me.

Pig's Blood Blues: 3.5/5

Sex, Death, and Starshine: 5/5 Between this and Pet Sematary, zombie girlfriend stocks are through the roof for me right now.

The Book of Blood and Midnight Meat Train: 5/5 Insanely good opening, especially considering this was among Clive Barker's first works from what I can tell. Love the fact that in-fiction this is all being read off of a dude's skin.
