Daniel Jolley said Not Clive Barker at his best. This second volume of Clive Barker's Books of Blood pales in comparison to the first volume, four of its five stories coming up short in my estimation. The book does get off to a rousing start with Dread, a somewhat sadistic tale of one man's obsession with death and the fear of it. According to the mysterious grad student Quaid, true philosophy, not what passes for philosophy in the universities, is a beast; everything really comes down to one thing only, which is fear. So begins Quaid's. Better than Vol 1. Having read the first Volume of 'Books of blood' I was eager to find stories as good as 'The Yattering and Jack'. This book provides such stories. Apart from 'Dread' these are all first class. Dread is good, but the subject matter is a bit sadistic for my liking and the plot lacks Barker's usual imagination.I think that this book is more consistent than the first volume of 'Books of Blood' and fully deserves five stars.This is possibly the best collection of horror stories I have read.. A Customer said Very good read!. It just goes to show you that everyone's tastes are different! I had to type a review because I thought that "Dread" was the best, albeit short, horror story that I have ever read. I read the book when it originally came out it says 1987, I thought it was a year or two earlier than that. The Books of Blood were my introduction to Clive Barker. I have read other works by him, but I feel that the blood books were his best.
