Editorial Review:
Slithering mercilessly from the bowels of the planet comes an eighteen-legged, nine-headed metal monster, intent on spreading its disease to the four corners of the earth. Known to its prey as Slipknot, this terrifying beast is achieving its aim at a fearful pace. Barcode Killers charts the rise of this dark sinister animal and recreates, in words and pictures, its strategic attempts to infect all those who come into close contact.
With 100 pages of in-depth research and horrific full-colour photographs, many never previously seen, the only complete listing of its vile, contagious calling cards, and the haunting details of what’s coming next, this book tells you all you need to know about the virus that is Slipknot.
Barcode Killers: The Slipknot Story in Words and Pictures Reviews:
not good 
2005-05-27 - I did not read this book as a true fan should never look into this book. If you want to know the history of slipknot, then buy the book that was actually put out by roadrunner and authorized by the band. One reason that they started putting on the mask was to freak you out, why take away that by wanting to know what they look like. Plus, if you are a fan, then you already know what they look like from some of their side projects. Also they wear mask to make sure that punk butt kids don't bother their familys and them when they are out and about. Please, respect the band and respect their familys. Don't buy this book and be a poser.
this is an insult to the band and all maggots
2003-11-18 - This is an insult to all maggots and the band alike. We have heard there story many times, and it is good to hear it, but when you go and sneak pictures of them without there masks on it is disturbing there personal space! This is not a book for true maggots, it is a book for stupid people who only like to hear whats in the news and when stars are in trouble about something or another. The greatest thing about slipknot was that you didnt know what they looked like, and now the media is trying to take that away!! I advise you do NOT read this book!!!
This is an insult to slipknot and true maggots
2003-11-18 - This is just an insult to all maggots and the band. This book is just there to bother all of the band members, we have heard there story lots of times, and its good to know it. But when you go in and get the pictures of them with out there masks it is disturbing there personal space! If they wanted everyone to see what there faces look like then they would do it at a concert or a live apearence. One of the greatest things about slipknot was that you didnt know what they looked like, and now the media is trying to take that away too. I advise you to NOT read this book!!!
A Message To All
2002-06-17 - First off, no I didn't read the book, nor do I want to. So why am I posting a review you ask? I'll tell you why. This book is anti-Slipknot just because it even exists. For all the Maggots out there, we already know their story, and what they have to say. If we wanna know something from the guys, we can just ask and what we don't know, we wont know. They're people too, just like the rest of us. Everyone deserves personal space. This book is for people that can't fathom Slipknot. We get the message and that's all the matters. The Knot will reveal themselves when they're ready, a book isn't needed. To all the true Maggots, support The Knot. (SIC)
The return of Crambo 
2001-11-30 - This is a great book about a stupendous "visual" rock band by a guy who is real rock 'n' roll writing legend, Mr. Mark Crampton (with a little help from his two worthy collaborators). What this guy doesn't know about rock'n'roll you could write on the back of a ukelele plectrum, so it's unlikely that Slipknot have slipped anything past his hawk-like gaze. I remember his incisive writing in the great early 90s rock mag, Riff Raff. Of course, he's toned down the style somewhat for the Slipknot fans, but this is still metal-to-the-pedal, hellbent-for-leather, turbo-charged rock'n'roll writing.
