I couldn’t resist when a call to write a personal non-fiction about Clive Barker’s Books of Blood came up. I have loved his work since I can remember and Books of Blood was the first book of his I read.
My piece, “The Beautiful and the Macabre” is about one of the stories contained within, and how it contributed to shaping me into the out, proud gay person I am today.
It’s out now in Issue #20 of the NonBinary Review from Zoetic Press.
