Showing results for "One Blood" in Short Stories

Weaving tales of the everyday world transformed into an unrecognizable place, where reason no longer exists and logic ceases to explain the workings of the universe, Clive Barker provides the stuff of nightmares in packages too tantalizing to resist. This first volume contains the short stories : "The Book of Blood," "The Midnight Meat Train," "The Yattering and Jack," "Sex, Death, and Starshine," and "In the Hills, the Cities,"

" سيأتي زمن على قوم، قسموا بين البحر والبر، طغت على قلوبهم البغضاء واحترقوا بنار الشيطان حتى انحفرت لعنته على أجسام بعضهم قبل انشقاق القمر وانهيار السماء، فيحين يوم لا تنفع فيه قوة ولا جاه، لا مال ولا بنون، ويقوم العنقاء من رماده وتنفخ الأبواق في السماء معلنة أنه حان يوم الانعتاق.."

In the near future, older generations can reverse the aging process through weekly transfusions while, far removed from the realities of the outside world, aimless postmillennials or “blood chickens” can live a life of guiltless bliss in idyllic youth farms. Among the first wave of volunteer donors are Billy Cantor and Frankie Halifax, who quickly bond over their dream paradise. What’s not to love? Wine tastings, parties, yoga, and all the organic avocados they can eat. Best of all: not a single care in the world until their thirty-fifth birthdays.
