I read these books when they first came out in 1984. I loved them then and I still loved reading them today. Indeed they are a large part of how I developed my love of horror.

The stories are all original, well written and don’t pull any punches.

I would recommend the entire series of The Books of Blood to anyone who loves the horror genre.

The two stories that really stand out in volume one are The Midnight Meat Train and Pig Blood Blues.
