If your attention span is as short as mine Clive barkers books of blood should hit the spot.
if there's anybody in the world who'd be fucking unobservant enough to actually damage themselves with trap-soap I guess it'd be the guy with dialup in 2007

Not for the weak of heart or mind, Mr. Ligotti's 'contrivance' is a dense and remarkable work of linguistic precision and poetic power, a horror story in which the uncanny monsters are us, and we've known it all along, in the backs of our minds: the self is an illusion, the body a gene-duplicating bio-robot, consciousness a tragic aberration that has imprisoned mankind to a life of suffering and reproduction. Here, the carnivorous universes of Lovecraft and Barron are shown to be not creations of fantastical speculation, but the universe in which we reside as deluded mistakes, born to suffer and die and make replicants to do the same.

this was a pretty neat mind fuck. a little gimmicky but a cool gimmick. Not to detract from the writing itself though, it was well written.

I got excited because I thought I had House of Leaves, but it turned out to be Shadowland by Peter Straub - which was associated in my mind with the word 'house' because he co-wrote Black House with Stephen King :drooly:

I guess I should finally read Books of Blood. To date the only Clive Barker I've gotten to is In the Flesh, which I loved dearly. I think that is considered to be a volume in that series but is titled differently or something? The Forbidden is ultra true G street shit.

it's unlikely that I'll reach cheer levels requiring its application to restore my inner darkness, so I probably won't either :invcross:

Patrick Macgrath's Blood in Water collection has some great stuff in it. "Boot's Tale" and "Hand of the Wanker" are long time favorites that come to mind. I just re-read Matheson's Hell House too, if you dig haunted houses and haven't read it then its a must.

If you liked Black House read The Talisman, if you haven't already.


EDIT: "In The Flesh" is books of blood volume 5 of books of blood if I'm not mistaken.....off the top of my head some of the best stories from those collections where jacqueline ess her will and testament (probably one of the most violent and grim), confessions of a Pornographer's shroud, Son Of Celluloid, both totally fucking weird and oozing. Pig Blood Blues, There's the ubiquitous Midnight Meat Train and Rawhead Rex ....In The Hills, The City is a fantastic short story.

Have you seen the shitty/awesome Rawhead Rex movie?:
(REAL SPOILER. DON'T CLICK)
SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
In the story the little boy pukes down Rawhead's throat before he bites his head off.

Talking about Clive Barker and short attention spans, his Hellbound Heart (what was made into the first Hellriaser film) can comfortably be read in one rainy afternoon plus it's a good read.

Full Dark, No Stars is a return to the trve darkness for Stephen King. Makes his run of the mill seem like soft G rated kid stuff by comparison.

Dean Koontz Frankenstein series and Watchers

Brian Lumley's Necroscope series (the comics were pretty cool too)

One of my all-time favorites, about a boy who befriends a Bigfoot-style woodland beast and the consequences of that friendship over the course of his life. It's almost like a nightmare version of Calvin & Hobbes? Really funny, but also punctuated with incredibly brutal violence at points. It's actually very poignant and affecting. It's also very concise (under 300 pages), and all killer no filler. Unlike SOME authors I could name...

Everything I've read by Strand is good but this is far and away the best (although Pressure is probably a close second).
