By: Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Jones III, Mike Dringenberg, Michael Zulli, Clive Barker
Publisher: Vertigo
September 01, 1991
Having established the basis for his world in The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes, Gaiman starts to stretch his wings a little, introducing us to more inhabitants of Morpheus's strange world, including some of his siblings, his servants (of a sort), and waking nightmares like The Corinthian. Gaiman ties it all together in a fascinating arc involving a young girl descended from a minor character... more

| 3. The Hellbound Heart: A Novel |
|
By: Clive Barker
Publisher: Harper Paperbacks
October 02, 2007
I am a true fan of horror fiction. This piece of horror fiction is a stand out among the best of horror fiction. This is truly a masterpiece. I first read this story in college, and then I found myself reading a new short story collection based on the "Hellraiser" mythology. That took me back to the movies, and that took me back to this story. The characters of this story are brilliantly drawn... more

| 4. Abarat (Abarat, 1) |
|
By: Clive Barker
Publisher: HarperCollins
August 31, 2004
The only criticism this book deserves is that it really leaves you hanging. It's a wonderful book, but you better buy both at once, because it'll be almost impossible for you to wait.
"Abarat" is a very rich, engaging fantasy, written for children but easily enjoyed by most. The protaganist is downtrodden but spunky, smart but not brilliant, curious but not reckless, introspective but interesting... more

By: Clive Barker
Publisher: Harper Paperbacks
August 06, 2002
I tried to get into this novel but I just could not. I seemed too far fetched and too unrealistic. Seemed pretty cool and then the story just took me into a scene which just seemed almost "silly". ... more

| 6. Clive Barker's Books of Blood 1-3 |
|
By: Clive Barker
Publisher: Berkley Trade
October 01, 1998
Hands down the best single author anthology book I have ever read. Barker opens up new angles and dimensions in horror that create or more correctly make known 'new' horrors that already exist but we've never focused on before. Great author and I don't say that easily because I didn't personally like his introduction but after reading just a few tales found I was a presumptuous fool... more

i've been reading clive barker's books off and on since i was in high school (the original u.s. paperbacks of the books of blood with the creepy covers) and some twenty years later i thought of giving this one a try. i think it's easy for many to dismiss barker as a simple genre writer for things like the books of blood and hellraiser but make no mistake, barker is a writer of the highest order. ... more

| 8. The Great and Secret Show | 
|
By: Clive Barker
Publisher: Fontana Press
April 26, 1990
Quite simply the best book I've ever read. Admittedly, it's my first Barker book, but as a huge literary horror fan (lovecraft, matheson, young koontz, etc), I found myself absolutely redefining my expectations of what the genre of horror fantasy can be. Clive paints uniquely searing, vivid, and psychedelic events and unforgettable characters, combined with a relentless pace that kept me absolutely... more
