Such Sights To Show: Episode 8 - Books of Blood Vol. 2

Bryan and Joe are back to discuss Volume 2 of Clive Barker's short story collection, Books of Blood.This time we're a bit more conflicted about some of the dated elements, including the role of race in Hell's Event to the misogyny of Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament to the sexual assault of The Skins of our Fathers.Still, Barker's prose is great, from the body horror of Jacqueline Ess to the playfulness of Barker-fying Edgar Allan Poe in New Murders in the Rue Morgue. Plus: which are our fave stories (we don't agree this time!)Wanna connect with the show?Bryan: @eviltaylorhicksJoe: @bstolemyremoteMusic Credit: Hellraiser Theme by Christopher YoungIf you like the podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe!Check out Anatomy of a Scream for more great content and the other Network pods Hosted on Acast.
