“I have seen the future of horror, and his name is Clive Barker.” Steven King. Having a quote from Mr. King nowadays is pretty standard with most horror fiction. Also I have seen a quote or two in action novels like The Grey Man by Mark Greaney. But, for back in the eighties, a quote from the King of Horror Fiction was rare. And for it to say THAT. Wow! Speaking for myself, after reading that same quote in a ‘85 or maybe ’86 Fangoria, I immediately went out to Waldenbooks and bought The Books of Blood. All these years later, Clive Barker’s writing still delivers. It still frightens, sickens, and delights me. Maybe even more, as I visit his novels almost annually. My fellow Gory Boyz feel the same way and in this Session, we do our usual treatment of the “future of horror” himself, Clive Barker. Enjoy.
