Liked It“I didn't expect Clive Barker to be such a good writer. In one volume, there's a story about two villages that go to war with each other in the most unusual way... war? It's more like a game for them. Either way, this is some very fearless writing. Barker's got a pair like a bull, I imagine.” see full review » see other reviews » |

Yes | No“This series of short stories started on a note that was hard to follow, but managed to do just that. While reading you're repeatedly pulled in and out of a sensual fear. Maybe one you've had before, or one entirely new. All depending on how dark your own highway of life is.
There are a few additions that will leave you wondering for days after, until the moment the pieces clink together, and behind your eyes you grasp the full meaning. Then you let a groan with a smile and say through a laugh, "That's disgusting."”
“I need to read this again. I didn't finish it, and don't remember much.”
