Last train to horror!
Clive Barker, one of the most original and influential authors in modern fantasy and horror fiction, took the world by surprise in 1984 with the publishing of the first volume of a collection of short stories titled “Books of Blood” (five more volumes would be published between 1984 and 1985). In this his first published work, Barker displayed his great imagination and talent, as well as his very personal style of dark fantasy. Hailed by Stephen King as “the future of horror”, Barker soon showed interest in film and began to write screenplays and adaptations of his previous works for the big screen.
