For more than two decades, Clive Barker has twisted the worlds of horrific and surrealistic fiction into a terrifying, transcendent genre all his own. With skillful prose, he enthralls even as he horrifies; with uncanny insight, he disturbs as profoundly as he reveals. Evoking revulsion and admiration, anticipation and dread, Barker's works explore the darkest contradictions of the human condition: our fear of life and our dreams of death.
Clive Barker is the bestselling author of over twenty novels and collections, including Weaveworld, Imajica, and Galilee. He regularly shows his art in Los Angeles and New York, and produces and directs for both large screen and small. He lives in California with his partner.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution Clive Barker is back from yet another
excursion into his dark and fertile imagination, bearing sinister
fruits of fine horror fantasy.
Elle Simultaneously repels and spellbinds the reader...Literature
in the tradition of Poe, Shelley and Hawthorne.
Locus The premier metaphysicist of contemporary fiction.
People Barker's dark, powerful imagination -- and his skill in
pacing to keep his stories surprising -- make the horror grisly and
effective.
Publishers Weekly The most ambitious dark fantasist of our
time.
The Boston Herald Barker's work reads like a cross between Stephen
King and...Gabriel García Márquez. He creates a world where our
biggest fears appear to be our own dreams.
The New York Times Book Review [Cabal] demonstrate[s] why the
gleefully gory Mr. Barker is at the top of his genre. Endlessly
inventive, he takes familiar themes a step or two
farther...dazzling, captivating stuff...
The Washington Post In the hands of a lesser writer this could be
just another tale of nightmarish evil...[what] lifts Barker from
common craftsman to the rarefied and chancy domain of artist is his

brings these insights into dramatic focus through the innocence of
his monsters...
Washingtion Times [Clive Barker] is a mapmaker of the mind,
charting the furthest reaches of the imagination....His ambition
and audacity are unparalleled; we know that we are in the presence
of a vision that is genuine, unique, and lasting.
