Well, 'Pig Blood Blues' is also among the best. It's set in a reform school and involves some really creepy and mysterious events. The atmosphere Barker creates, full of dread and unease, is what makes this story so good.

In 'Books of Blood', 'The Yattering and Jack' is great. It's about a demon named The Yattering who is sent to torment a man named Jack. The psychological warfare between them is really interesting, and Barker's creativity in creating this supernatural battle is impressive.

One of the best is 'The Midnight Meat Train'. It's a dark and disturbing tale that takes the reader on a journey through the seedy underbelly of a city's subway system, with a truly terrifying antagonist. Barker's vivid descriptions make it a standout.
