Barker Talks Blood, Dread & Souls!

It seems like every time Phil & Sarah over at Revelations put up a new interview with Clive Barker, I never have more than a few minutes to skim through it to find the good bits for you guys. These interviews are always huge, funny, informative and give the kind of insight into the mind of Clive that you simply cannot get anywhere else, so how can a few minutes be enough?
