Clive Barker
 

What Barker books have you guys read? My favorites are Cabal and The Thief of Always. I haven't read Imajica or Weaveworld. Any feedback on those two would be appreciated. Their size is very intimidating and I don't know if I have the time to read them. I'm wanting to hear something positive about them first before I give it a go.

I am big fan of Clive Barker's books. I have read almost all stories of him. My favourite is Damnation Game, Imajica, Great Secret Show. To tell truth I love all his books. Each of his stories is awesome. Avenger! if you have not read Imajica or Weaveworld yet you must read them quick as soon as possible. I guarantee wonderful adventure of awesome Barker's worlds. Enjoy!

i've always loved Barker's short stories, so The Books Of Blood have been a staple in my library since i was in high school. The Thief Of Always, The Hellbound Heart, Lord Of Illusions, Imajica. In my opinion; he is one of the best horror writers of all time, every book or story of his that i've read just pulled me in and i couldn't stop reading... some i had to read over and over.

when i think of horror writers, i automatically think of clive barker. i put him so far ahead of king. i love clive barker. his books of blood books kick ass. i love thief of always. i am halfway done with weaveworld, great book. his movies aren't too shabby as well.

Clive Barker is the SHIT...cant wait to see what happens with The Midnight Meat Train.

I've read a lot of Barker books,

Books of Blood 1,2 &3
In The Flesh
Weaveworld
The Inhuman Condition
Coldheart Canyon
Galile
Sacrament
The Thief of Always
Cabal
The Hellbound Heart
Everville

but my apsolute favorate Barker book is The Great & Secret Show

It has a review on the book...if you hadent read it Im afraid I will give away too much..I get a little excited about Clive Barker Books and tend to give away things.:rolleyes:

I know this isnt a book..but has anyone seen A-Z Horror by Clive Barker? It was hosted by him I have yet to see it...:(

I know this one!!!
I know where they sell it not to far from my home

oooooooooooooooow cool
lol
but first some other books to buy

iv only red the books of blood, and cabal...im reading gaille now though, an interesting book but so far it doesnt strike me as horror though... more of a fantasy book but still worht checking out.

I'm more of a Stephen King fan. But Clive Barker's books are cool too.

The Books of Blood are great! That story about the devil being unburied or something like that, and him wrecking havoc, killing people and urinating all over a priests face...yeah...that stuck with me...

You mean Rawhead Rex. Too bad the movie wasn't that good.

Ah, yes, "Rawhead Rex."

And yeah, the movie, it was...wow...I mean...wow...

You guys rock! Everyone I know is in love w/Stephen King and when I mention Clive Barker they all go "who?" They don't know who he is until you start talking movies (not that there's anything wrong with that, but the books are WAY better). Fuckers. Anyway, this is awesome.

I think a big part of Clive Barker kicking ass is that he can tell such an AWESOME story and it doesn't have to be a million pages (I haven't read any of his bigger books yet, I'm getting there). Hellbound Heart was scarier than Hellraiser - I couldn't put the book down, I came back from lunch WAY late because I got lost in it. Truly awesome.

Two best books of his: The Great And Secret Show and Imajica.

has anyone read "ABARAT" I just started it and it seems ok.

I have only read "Books of Blood"vol 1.. which i own.. hard to find the others around here..unless i buy it online.. have also read "The Inuman Condition"(which i own). and "In the Flesh.".I've seen where these 2 and one more book are kind of referred to as "Books of Blood" vol 4,5 & 6..(Barnes and Noble probably.)..anyway.I'm going to read Cabal soon.Looks like an excellent read.also in my collection .."The Damnation Game".. and just got"Weaveworld" recently..but..looking for "Books of Blood" vol 2 or 3.. a must have..in my opinion..

Fucking Right. No book I've ever read begins better then the books of blood. The Hellbound heart, Cabal and Imajica are excellent books. The Damnation Game is my favorite yet. So sweet.

You must let me know, i have all his books, most of them are signed and i have pdf or rtf copies of most of them. my favourite books are imajica and the books of the art (great and secret show & everville)
