Four horror novellas. Solid writing, but I struggled with the form. Novella as form is so slippery. Too long for the turn- that short stories offer, and too short for the settling- that novels allow. I liked "The Forbidden" best.

Not quite as good as the previous volumes but still worthwhile, since it is Barker. Includes the story that Candyman was based on.

The Dark Weaveworld of Clive Barker, Part 2 of 3: In the FleshBIOGRAPHY: Clive Barker is the bestselling author of nineteen books, including Weaveworld, Imagica, and Galilee. He regularly shows his art in Los Angeles and New York, and produces and directs for both large and small screen. Recent projects include the Oscar-wining film Gods and Monsters, and an exhibition of erotic paintings and photographs, The Weird and the Wicked. He lives with his husband, the photographer David Armstrong, in

I'm still finding the quality increases as I work through the volumes. But I have to say, though it doesn't say much, there was one quote that I found quite chilling, from the story The Forbidden:"Don't kill me," she breathed."Do you believe in me?" he said.She nodded minutely. "How can I not?" she said."Then why do you want to live?"Brilliant stuff, that.

Another great intallment in the books of blood by Clive Barker. 4 awesome stories from which the first " The Forbidden" is the basis for the Candyman movie:D As always clive gives us much more than just the surface blood and gore. Its a twisted journey inside peoples psyche.Two more books of blood to go:) 4 stars:)

An unnerving collection of four short stories, I especially liked The Forbidden, which was the basis for the Candyman film. I'm a big fan of the film but I'd have to concede that the story is better!

The manifestation of evil, "in the flesh" is the theme which unites all four novellas in this early Barker work.The highlight here is undoubtedly "THE FORBIDDEN". This is the basis for what is perhaps the MOST UNDERRATED HORROR FILM OF ALL TIME: Bernard Rose's "Candyman." The story itself, 60 pages that really do chill the blood, I've penciled in on a list of the best short stories ever. It is melancholia wrapped in detective Noir, supernatural urban legend; a human investment into something
