Consider that two thirds of lifetime wage growth occurs in the first decade of your career, and Sandberg's exhortations to young, smart women just entering the workforce seem all the more necessary. (Sandberg made a similar point in Lean In, citing a 2011 McKinsey & Co. According to the American Association of University Women, female college grads earned 82 percent of what their male peers did just one year out of college. In short: that the wage gap begins early, and women just entering the job market need advice on how to navigate the gender politics of corporate America. But even if she were simply out to make a buck (a cynical theory I just don't buy, and anyway, Sandberg is already a billionaire), she is saying what needs to be said. I like to think this new book represents coming full circle for Sandberg, whose impassioned 2011 commencement speech at Barnard College is often cited as the beginning of her second career…as a feminist.

While this is just my opinion on the matter, don’t forget to share your own favorite Books of Blood stories with us in the comments below, as there are plenty to choose from. With this newfound interest in Barker’s stories, I thought it might be a good idea to look back on the anthology that originally launched his career and select a few underrated tales that never got the adaptation they deserved.

I found a couple of sites that spoil the endings (shouting out my new friend Jen Ryland here!), but couldn’t find everything I was looking for.
