Unlike other horror fiction and fantasy writers, Clive Barker is
true to the literary heritage of the genre. Though aware of the
importance of entertainment in his writing, he embraces the
traditional formulas of horror fiction and builds upon them, all
the while alluding to the works of Dante, Poe, Mary Shelley, and
others. The complexity of Barker's writing is best evidenced in the
six volume Books of Blood . Many of these short stories are
entertaining ""hair raisers""; yet they do not revel in gratuitous
violence, instead relying on style and a masterful sense of
language to entertain. This detailed study analyses the significant
themes in Barker's writing, placing him in the British Gothic
tradition of Marlowe, Saki and others.
