Mystical phantasmagoria in two books from the winner of the international literary award “Horror” Clive Barker - the great creator of enchanting and scary worlds! “The dead have their own highways. Laid in those inhospitable wastelands that begin outside our lives, they are filled with streams of departing souls. Their disturbing hum can be heard in the deep flaws of the universe - it comes from the potholes and cracks left by cruelty, violence and vice. Their feverish hustle and bustle can be glimpsed when the heart is ready to be torn into pieces - it is then that what is supposed to be secret is revealed to the eye.” This quote perfectly captures the essence of Clive Barker’s famous collections, united under the general title “Books of Blood” and which have become classics not only mysticism, but also literature in general. Barker was born in Liverpool. Moreover, he graduated from the school where John Lennon studied. This involuntarily provokes comparison and obliges us to do a lot. And if you are a writer, it is no longer enough to write just good books. It is absolutely necessary to write extraordinary, exceptional books. And I think that the author of “Books of Blood” and other works included in the first volume of this two-volume set coped with this difficult task brilliantly.18+Contents: BOOKS OF BLOOD—Book I—Book II—Book III—Book IV—Book V—Book VIHARRY D'AMOUR—The Last Illusion—Lost Souls—Art (Books I–II)IMAGIKA
