Clive Barker Books of Blood, Lisa Tuttle's Set Signed First Edition

The author's first books. The books were first published in paperback. The first three likely published simultaneously (given the other two are mentioned respectively in each volume - exact dates not known), similarly the last three.

Sphere published an omnibus of volumes one and two in hardback the same year [Jones & Newman, Another 100 Best Books, p306]. Volume two is inscribed by Barker to fellow Horror writer Lisa Tuttle. The inscription reads'To Lisa, with Blood and Best Wishes, Easter Day 1984, Clive Barker'.
