Book of Blood is a horror film awaiting release which is based on two short stories by Clive Barker, one of the same title, published in Volume One of the collection Books of Blood and the other in Volume Six of the collection called On Jerusalem Street: A Postscript. The plot features a young man who finds a place of transportation of souls in the afterlife. It is being directed by John Harrison. Leading actors include Jonas Armstrong, Sophie Ward, and Reg Fuller. Other actors include Doug Bradley, James Watson, Simon Bamford, and Romana Abercromby.

Book of Blood is the sixth story to be adapted from Barker's collection, following Rawhead Rex (filmed in 1986); The Forbidden (filmed in 1992 as Candyman); The Last Illusion (filmed in 1995 as Lord of Illusions); The Body Politic (filmed in 1997 within Quicksilver Highway); and The Midnight Meat Train. During his appearance at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors he noted this film will be followed by Dread, Pig Blood Blues, and then Madonna.[1]
