One of the best collections of horror stories I've ever read, highly recommend. Very gruesome, but creative.

6 stories: 2 of them are kinda of duds for me, 2 are creepy and entertaining and 2 are hands down some of the most disturbing, best written horror short stories I have ever read. If either one of the meh stories would have been any better this review would be five stars, that’s how good the good ones are. If you read nothing else read “Book of Blood” and “Midnight Meat Train.” I am going to need to track down these other collection and I am so excited to dive deeper into Barker’s work.

Started strong but then the last two stories were so far-fetched and ridiculous that it marred the rest of the collection.

Ако само можех да дам повече звезди... Книгата, разказите, са повече от уникални и в рамките на 50 странички един разказ просто те завладява.
