Clive Barker’s Books of Blood is a celebrated six-volume collection from 1984–1985 that redefined horror with visceral "body horror" and dark thematic depth. The series is structured around a framing narrative where a fake psychic has tales carved into his skin, which then become the stories for each volume. Famous stories in the collection include "The Midnight Meat Train," "The Forbidden" (which inspired Candyman ), and "In the Hills, the Cities".
