The Books of Blood, Vol. 1, by Clive Barker
I first read these stories in my early teens; coming back to them reveals the relative rawness of Barker’s craft here and his influence on my thinking about horror. These stories embody a great horror-writing truism: always have one greater horror to present after the one you’ve been building to is employed.

A Little Bird Tells You
- I don't like ending horror on final twists (tho sometimes it works), but just found old idea with nice last-panel punch. It's my next script 2 days ago
- Assuming I didn't mess anything up, I've placed my first semi-Split Lip-related t-shirt order. 4 days ago
- Conan, what is good? When you finish a novel, wonder what to read next, and a big box from Amazon is waiting at the mailbox. 4 days ago
- House of the Devil = Aesthetically dead on; dramatically a good deal too slow. A few nice bits at the end, though. 5 days ago
- Now _that's_ a Friday. Thirteen pages of script and a new Split Lip story is done. Next: Korean food. 5 days ago
- More updates...
