(The Book of Blood)
Very cool take on the haunted house genre, filled with Barker's typical erotic and body horror. The language was complex in a very engaging way, and the story serves on its own as a kickass standalone tale and an excellent aperitif to the rest of the anthology. 5/5

Honestly, both the most mean spirited and engaging of the short stories so far, both of which are really saying something considering the stories that came before. A very gross uncomfortable mystery, I don't wanna give away more.

This is a purely fun Barker story and it's a great reprieve after "The Midnight Meat Train". It's a silly Christmas romp with Barker's characteristic crass, erotic, gory spirit, but not as heavily as the prior short stories or The Hellbound Heart.

Another very graphic very disturbing story. I don't think it stuck the landing as well as The Book of Blood, but it was still an easy 4/5.
