The Books of Blood archiveTwo stories from Baker's 'The Books of Blood'. 'Dread' - What are you really afraid of? Quaid, a student of philosophy, is interested to know. Very interested. For Quaid, there is no delight the equal of DREAD, as long as it's someone else's. Cheryl Fromm's for instance. Quaid will teach her the meaning of DREAD and no one will hear her screams. Not even Quaid's friend Stephen Grace, though he should have. Perhaps then he could have saved himself. 'The Forbidden' - Sweets for the sweet..Helen Buchanan is writing her thesis on graffiti and human despair. In number 14 Butt's Court on the run down Spector Street housing estate, Helen will discover the meaning of this repeatedly scrawled phrase. But her disbelief in the urban legend of the Candyman, the mysterious figure with a hook where his hand should be, will bring her face to face with true terror. This story was made into the film, 'Candyman'.
