books by Clive Barker     books:       The Living Dead4 reviews Stephen King, Joe Hill, ... Night Shade Books, 2008 Zombie-tastic! Yes, some of the stories that are in the book have been published before in other compilations, the editor even states this in the beginning, however, 'The Living Dead' is an absolute must-have for anyone who is a fan of zombies. You can not go wrong here. I would have paid this price if only for Dan Simmons short: 'This Years Class Picture'. I cried...Is that even possible in a zombie short? ...             The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House51 reviews Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Jones III, ... Vertigo, 1991 Great Storytelling!!! Blood and Rain Blood for the Masses From a review originally published in SavageNight E-zine The Sandman: The Doll's House, Volume 2 Written by Neil Gaiman Various illustrators. Review by B.L.Morgan This book took us further into the mythos of who The Sandman is and how at different times he's affected history. A few of the stories do not directly feature The Sandman but ...             Imajica: Featuring New Illustrations and an Appendix132 reviews Clive Barker Harper Paperbacks, 2002 Imajica - A feast for the senses Having read almost everything that Clive Barker has written thus far, I will admit that Imajica contains many elements that seem to echo in several of his books; Weaveworld,The Great and Secret Show/Everville,and most recently the Abarat series. However, this does not detract in any way from the intricately woven story of Imajica. In fact, I think it is in this book that the author finally ...             The Dark Descent14 reviews Clive Barker, Ray Bradbury, ... Tor Books, 1997 Multitudinous tome for the horror and preternatural aficionado This publication rivals most of the horror/ mystery compilations printed elsewhere. Some of the most consequential and prolific ink slingers of the creepy and the dreary are featured here, and they don't disappoint. Here, in this volume, you will find it all. The works of King, Bradbury, Jackson, Lovecraft, Poe and many others are at your reading pleasure. Some of my personal favorites: ...             The Great and Secret Show85 reviews Clive Barker Harper Paperbacks, 1999 One of the best novels I've read I have always enjoyed Clive Barker's writing. His writing is not necessarily "horror" in the Lovecraft sense of things. He is more mythical in his writings, and the horror that does come comes subtle and sublime. The Great and Secret Show is just that, all the myths and whispers that underline the American facade. It, and its sequel, work together to present the ideas that would happen if ...             The Hellbound Heart: A Novel61 reviews Clive Barker Harper Paperbacks, 2007 Can you put the puzzle box down? I have been a fan of Clive Barker since reading Imagica a couple years ago. Barker can write some truly imaginative books. He is one of the authors that breaks the mold of our commercial carbon copy writing industry. I knew that if I was going to ever see myself a fan of his works I had to read Hellbound Heart. This is the book that started the whole Hellraiser movie series. If you ever saw ...             Clive Barker's Books of Blood 1-366 reviews Clive Barker Berkley Trade, 1998 Books of Blood: Volumes 1-3 By Clive Barker Clive Baker, some call him the master of horror even Stephen King Called Barker "The Future of Horror," And someone to call him a master or the future wouldent be too far off. Clive Barkers "Books of Blood:Volume 1-3" were my first attempt at Barker, and I couldent have loved them more. Volumes 1-3 are in here there are five stories in each voulme. Volume 1 Volume one had to be my favorite ...             The Thief of Always129 reviews Clive Barker HarperTrophy, 2002 A touching fable for the young at heart The Great Grey Beast of February has imprisoned Harvey Swick and the young boy is bored to death. How will he ever survive that dreadfully dull period between New Year and Easter? Contemplating his misery, Harvey discovers that he is not alone in his room. Indeed a somewhat strange and scrawny figure is standing in the corner. The man makes himself known as Mr. Rictus and invites Harvey to the ...             Abarat185 reviews HarperCollins, 2004 Abarat : another word for amazing When I read this book, I had no real idea what to expect. I had never heard of it, but there was a quote from it in another book that I really enjoyed, so I decided to take a chance. What I got was amazing. The illustrations by the author, Clive Barker, make the sometimes dream-like aspects come alive. Barker has a great handle on how to word passages to make the scenes seem to jump off the ...             Mister B. Gone74 reviews Clive Barker HarperCollins, 2007 clive barker and demonology Clive Barker makes a less than triumphant return to the morbid horror story that gained him so much praise in the early days of his career. the novel itself could have stood up against any of the short stories that appeared in his legendary Books of Blood anthology, but its sense of humor leaves much to be desired. the pun is something of a statement to Barker's age, perhaps purposely senile and ...             Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War (rack) (Abarat)60 reviews HarperCollins, 2006 Arabat, Days of Magic, Nights of War I loved this book (as I love all Clive Barker material). Although this is classified as a "Young Adult" book, I think any grown-up with a sense of whimsy will thoroughly enjoy it. The illustrations are imaginative and original and the prose is acceptable. The whole world of Abarat is fantastical and quite different from other fiction of this type. Candy Quackenbush is a heroine for the ages ...             Cabal27 reviews Clive Barker Pocket, 2001 why haven't you already read this book? Early Barker, stunning, beautiful, horrifying, terrifying, heartbreaking. All the things we love Clive for. If you haven't already read this book, why the heck not? If you have, read it again. And again.             The Reconciliation (Imajica, Book 2)18 reviews Clive Barker HarperTorch, 1995 #2? in the series, I dont think so I love Clive Barker's work. But I feel Decieved because I have read this book before, when it was just one book. You should make this clear to your customers. I will be more careful next time. I loved the book the first time but I am not going to buy the first half again. How disappointing it was not a totally new story about the same Imajica. Or am I wrong? I don't think so.             The Sandman: Book of Dreams14 reviews Neil Gaiman, Ed Kramer, ... HarperTorch, 2002 Faithful to the Dreaming It is funny how one can initially misjudge a book. When I first picked this volume up it was because I saw Neil Gaiman and Clive Barker's names on the cover. Then, on first perusal, I saw that Gaiman had not even written the introduction. Moreover, Barker's only contribution was the frontispiece- a drawing of Death. Nor did I immediately recognize the names of any of the contributors to the ...             The Inhuman Condition13 reviews Clive Barker Pocket, 2001 Clive Barker Take Us On The Nightmare Journey Of A Lifetime God, just talking about The Inhuman Condition makes me itch to read it all over again for the tenth time. Clive Barker, especially early Barker like In The Flesh, The Inhuman Condition & The Books Of Blood are so righteously killer, I can't help but re-reading them whenever I get the chance. Talk about visionary horror, Clive Barker turned the entire Horror Genre upside down with his fiction. ...             In the Flesh17 reviews Clive Barker Pocket, 2001 In The Flesh Absolutely F*cking Rox!!!!! First things first. The Last reveiwer referred to King and Koontz as hacks. King and Koontz should not be uttered together in the same sentence. That is sacrilege. Koontz is a hack. King is God. We mock what we don't understand. We fear what we cannot perceive. And let us remember, if it wasn't for King's kindly reviews, Mr. Barker might still be an obscure genius. Let me get one thing ...             The Damnation Game83 reviews Clive Barker Berkley, 2002 First and still the best The first novel Barker ever wrote was also the first of his that I read, and I can still remember the impact it made on me two decades later. The assurance and clarity of the prose is shocking for a debut novelist, as is the almost tactile sense of evil that seems to leave a sticky residue on your fingers just from touching the pages. I recently picked up the damnation game for a nostalgic ...             Everville51 reviews Clive Barker Harper Paperbacks, 1999 Well, it's Clive Barker... What more can you ask for? I never intended to review this book, partly because tons of people have done it already, and partly because this was a book I read on my "leisure time", that is, time when I wasn't reading review copies that different publishers had sent me. But hey, it's Clive Barker, and I since he's the greatest author alive today I figured I at least had to say a word or two about Everville. Just read ...             Weaveworld118 reviews Clive Barker Pocket, 2001 weaveworld The book is exactly as referenced. Further, this is one of the best books I have ever read. If you like Stephen King and the Dark Tower series you will also like this book....awesome fantasy work             The Thief of Always: A Fable7 reviews Clive Barker Harpercollins, 1992 The Best Book Ever! The Thief of Always is a exciting, fun book that keeps you want to keep on reading. A little scary but addicting. The expression bored to death, which was created by Zeus when Hermes told everlasting jokes to a monster, just means your bored for a couple minutes and then you find something to do, but to this boy he is literally bored to death and is taken to a holiday house, a kid's dream!
