The story centers on a
paranormal expert who, while investigating a gruesome slaying,
finds a house that is at the intersection of "highways"
transporting souls to the afterlife. Based on the wraparound
story penned by Clive Barker in the author's "Books of Blood"
collection, a psychic researcher, Mary Florescu, has employs
medium Simon McNeal to investigate a haunted house. McNeal, at
first, begins to fake his visions, but then real ghosts
present themselves. They attack him and carve words in his
flesh, and these words, claims the narrator, form the rest of
the stories, stories written on a literal, living Book of
Blood.
