Media Reviews
Barker's eye is unblinking; he drags out our terrors from the shadows and forces us to look upon them and despair or laugh with relief.
--The Washington Post

Mixing elements of horror, science fiction and surrealist literature, Barker's work reads like a cross between Stephen King and South American novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He creates a world where our biggest fears appear to be our own dreams.
--Boston Herald

Mr. Barker is much more than a genre writer, and his extravagantly unconventional inventions are ingenious refractions of our common quest to experience and understand the mysterious world around us and the mysteries within ourselves.
--The New York Times Book Review

Clive Barker assaults our senses and our psyche, seeking not so much to tingle our spine as to snap it altogether.
--Los Angeles Times

Outstanding ... a powerful and fascinating writer with a brilliant imagination.
--J.G. Ballard
