I've not read these and have always been curious about them. I love his fantasy but I'm scared of his horror. I read the Books of Blood when I was really young and they traumatized me. I appreciate the detailed review of this one.
Just got done with this un finished trilogy, and I'm very on the fence with it.. some story lines I really enjoyed & others it was a chore to read through or follow. I also am going through all his works and so far Scarlet Gospels is my favorite..

I think he's put in the horror box because a few of his things became iconic movies, but he'll always be more of a fantasy author to me!
i’ve never read any clive barker! i’m going to have to check some of his work out!
I'd say check out Weaveworld or Imajica first!

I really hope he comes back to it and ties everything together, but I don't have high hopes....
Funny thing, I read that before Great and Secret Show

Thanks very much! Have subbed right back
Barker, like King, really needs an editor. They are both fantastic writers who offer amazing insights and scenes but the endings rarely hang together.
It hurts, but I agree...
