i read quite a few of his novels - starting with Damnation Game.
I found that he starts a good readable story but has trouble with the endings.
The latter stories became more and more weird .. but not it a good way .. more of a forced way - in the same vein of Stephen Kings 'Desperation' type novels.
I get the feeling that there's nothing left for these guys to write ... and it does seem 'desperate' - the attempts at coming up with new fantastical 'out-there' things.
if you want to read good Barker .. get his short story collections 'Books of Blood'
