Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable and even internally,is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation,for a book of its 30+ year-old age. It is only the minimal faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading overall. Despite them,it really is still is an exemplary example for its overall cleanliness and lack of other detracting faults. Believing himself responsible for horrific crimes,Boone secludes himself in a remote Canadian necropolis,pursued by hunters and a woman who loves him,in a short novel accompanied by four short stories - these four comprise Volume 6 of the 'Books of Blood.'
'One of the things I wanted to do with the book was to set up a classic stalk-and-slash psycho, the 20th century monster on the loose - Decker - against the historical, mythological and fairy tale version of 'the monster' which is what Boone and the Nightbreed are.' - Clive Barker.
