How about Clive Barker's books of blood?

Fucking yeah, man. I don't know if it was simply me being a goofy 13 year-old or what, but I loved the Books of Blood, and remember being absolutely blown away with some of the stories. Because they're short, even the worst one is over quick, but the quick reading even helps the great stories because they seem to have more impact when you can tear through them in an hour.

Stories that stuck with me to this day:

- The Yattering and Jack (funny, twist)
- Dread (gross, good ending)
- In the Hills, the Cities (creative, weird)
- Hell's Event (funny, cool)
- Midnight Meat Train (I forget the tone of this one, but the image of eviscerated corpses hanging in a subway car, being butchered by monsters always pops in my head whenever I step onto a subway car).

Alright, now I'm going to re-read them.
