Babel's Children
The last story of Vol 5 of #BooksofBlood. Gives me Wonderland and Monty Python vibes.

In The Flesh
The first story to start off Vol 5 of #BooksofBlood. This tale reveals the cycle of prison and the burden of familial curses. Both burden the characters in different ways.

The Age of Desire
The last story of volume 4 with #BooksofBlood. I feel someone asked Clive what he thought of Shakespeare and Desire was is answer. Also, lowey predicted Viagra.

I enjoyed re-reading these stories. After not reading them for awhile, it has given me a fresh look on what is being told.

Human Remains
The dopplergänger in this story becomes more human than the human it's imitating. Gavin is an example of narcissism and psychopathy.

Scape-Goats
This is the first short story that feature first person narrative. Out of all the stories in this book, this one feels grimy and depressive. Reminds me of the Swamp of Saddness but more Lovecraftian.

Confessions of a (Pornographer's) Shroud
There is something darkly comedic about this story. A man literally comes back as a sheet to kill the last of the people who wronged him.

Rawhead Rex
This feels like the most Slasher Flick out of all of his stories and this is coiming from the creator of #Hellraiser. The creature is like a primative Art the Clown.

Son of Celluloid
This one is dear to my heart. My first job was at the Palace West Theater. No longer exists but I often imagine the interior the same as this story.

New Murders at the Rue Morgue
Barker's take on Poe's classic short story brings in a new perspective. A man proud of his ancestor, C. Auguste Dupin, turns to loathing as he discovers history repeating itself.

The Skins of the Fathers
Such a tragic story. All the demons wanted was to reunite with their son.

Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament
Call this ironic but I can see Jacqueline becoming a Cenobite by how she carries herself.

Hell's Event
This oddly hits home due to the climate America is in. The main plot: if humanity wins, demacracy continues. If Hell wins, the end of the world begins.

Dread
Started Volume 2 with the mentioned title above. Quaid is fucking evil. This is one of the rare times I'm cheering for a killer clown.

In the Hills, the Cities
Finished the last story of Volume 1. Talk about the State being one body, literally! The thing that stuck with me was the river of blood coming from Podujevo. Makes me think of Chernobyl.

Sex, Death, and Starshine
#Shakespeare would be proud of this story. Too often, greed and fame cheapens art. Also, I like to imagine Vincent Price as Mr. Lichfield, which would be fitting since the audience is not alive.

Pig Blood Blues
Kind of reminds me of Midsommer but in a Youth Detention Center. I think this is a commentary on how the law fails its children, escpecially boys.

The Yattering and Jack
This one feels light-hearted and what I feel is Clive's attempt at a Christmas story.

Wishing a very happy birthday to Clive Barker, the man who taught me that words have magic and that our passions are no less valid for their darkness.

A photo of a large folder, with a label saying "Clive Barker's Books of Blood, a portfolio." large quality prints, signed by the Clive.
Holy smokes🤯...
Look what I just found in my old art folder, that I had in school.
Everything looks in perfect condition, but it's 2:30am, and I need to check it all out properly in the morning.

Books of Blood 02: The Midnight Meat Train
Tried doing a messier style to get that grimy 80s subway feel to it

I've been a big fan of Clive Barker's work, especially his Books of Blood short stories
I'll be making a series of fanart posters for each story so here's the first of hopefully many! :3

On to book 2 now.
I just finished Dread which is another one of my favorites.
Re-read these I can see why none of the live action adaptations never quite worked.
Without having someone narrate the settings it would be so hard truly translate his unique style.

I decided to crack out an old book series I own.
Its what first got me hook on Clive Barker.
Something about his visceral style writing helps me real visualise what's happening.
The Yattering and Jack is still one my favorite.
