In this instance, Books Of Blood strays so far from its source material that it attempts to reinvent the entire structure of Clive Barker's collection. With every adaptation, there are always drawbacks, whether big or small. There is a wealth of stories to build off of and "On Jerusalem Street" is far from being complete.Īs seen in the trailer, Brannon Braga's Books Of Blood includes various elements from across the entire 6 volume collection that weave together to create one cohesive plot. Due to the fact that the Wyburd character-named Bennett in Braga's movie-never finds the Book Of Blood, it is entirely possible that the movie will get a sequel. The volume 6 story serves as a way to create tension throughout the movie while not detracting from the other stories that are included. It serves as a wrap-up story to the entire collection, but Books Of Blood makes it the framework instead of "The Book Of Blood" itself. It follows a man named Wyburd who is hired to find the Book Of Blood. Braga's characters stray from the original source material by building on how Wyburd's story began, and follows his attempts to find the mysterious book. Volume 6's "On Jerusalem Street" is actually the beginning of Books Of Blood.
