"Everybody is a book of blood. We are all scarlet, when open". Here the dead tell the histories, cutting out them on the body of living. Monstrous giants consisting of people ramble here, frightful secrets hide in the New York subway, ancient monsters come back to life, and a verge between fear and pleasure is thin as never. Before you there are the first three volumes of legendary "Books of blood" of Clive Баркера. They are first published in Russian language under one by a cover and with the preface of author. These stories became the classics not only хоррора but also world literature. Bloody and поэтичные, ominous and provocative, they radically changed the genre of horrors and until now are the unsurpassed standards of truly frightful and gloomy histories.
