Whatever the world may inflict upon us—fear, uncertainty, chaos—we cling to the belief that within the chambers of our own thoughts, we remain inviolate. That what we think, we own. That what we feel, we understand.

Ah, dear disciples of dread, gather close and let us peer into the pages of Books of Blood, a modern anthology stitched together from the sinew and soul of Clive Barker’s imagination.
