OH and Everville and Great and Secret Show.Definitely read the Books of Blood! I thought I had them all, but I only have an omnibus of the first three volumes. But all I've read has been fantastic. Highly recommend those. I passed on Tonight, Again because I didn't really care to read erotic fiction. I haven't even considered The Essential Clive Barker. To be honest, I've been turned off by his later works. Sacrament was meh and I've already shared my thoughts on TSG. If I read Barker it'll be through re-reads of Books of Blood, Imajica, Hellbound Heart, Damnation Game, Cabal, Weaveworld, and The Thief of Always.Good to know.I bought Tortured Souls. This is a collection of 5 (6?) stories that were originally included with action figures he designed for McFarlane Toys. The short pieces described the lives of these Tortured Souls who were cenobite-ish and how they came to be the mutilated freaks represented by the action figures. These were very cool toys and they fetch a lot of money now, but I didn't collect them. When SubPress announced they were publishing these in a collection signed by Barker I was all for it. It's pretty good, but the stories (written for toy packaging) really don't hang together all that well, but it's good writing and I wanted more of it. So I'd recommend but wouldn't go so far as to rave. I passed on Infernal Parade for reasons known to no one.
Any thoughts on collections etc.?
