![]() ‘In the Flesh’ is Barker doing what he does best desperate people mired in their obsessions and fantasies. That was a pleasant treat for this read, as that story is one of Barker’s best, especially considering it is more of a horror by implication instead of a straightforward horror story. The US version of the book features the story ‘In the Flesh’ first in the volume (it’s last in the UK edition), and for some odd reason, I never got around to reading ‘Babel’s Children’ the first time. Summer of 1988 gave me a break in my studies and allowed me to catch up with a lot of reading. Let’s just say I had to learn how to study if I was going to survive college. ![]() ![]() Released in 1986, I didn’t get a chance to read In the Flesh until much later, as I was deep in university work struggling to keep my GPA at a respectable number. ![]()
