A review by persypie
Books of Blood, Volume Three by Clive Barker, Clive Barker
2.0
“I saw the heart of nothing and survived.”
Most of the stories in this collection were a disappointment, with the exception of Scape-Goat for being moderately better than the rest.
They can’t all be winners, but this was a disappointing selection of stories that bored me.
I wish I would have kept up with running reviews for each story in this collection (as is now tradition) but alas, I did not. I’ll add the ones I do have here.

Son of Celluloid ⭐️⭐️
“Nobody dies in the movies. You can always thread the celluloid up again.”
Well, thank goodness the “fat” girl was here to save the day (at a whopping 225 lbs, give me a break). I really liked parts of this story, but it was undeniably fatphobic, and I’m very over the horror industry needing to rape young virgin girls.

“He would certainly die. It was purely a matter of time and inclination.”
