Product Description
Unlike other horror fiction and fantasy writers, Clive Barker is true to the literary heritage of the genre. Though aware of the importance of entertainment in his writing, he embraces the traditional formulas of horror fiction and builds upon them, all the while alluding to the works of Dante, Poe, Mary Shelley, and others.The complexity of Barker's writing is best evidenced in the six volumes Books ofBlood. Many of these short stories are entertaining "hair raisers"; yet they do not revel in gratuitous violence, instead relying on style and a masterful sense of language to entertain. This detailed study analyzes the significant themes in Barker's writing, placing him in the British Gothic tradition of Marlowe, Saki and others. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An intelligent summary of chaos.
Mr. Hoppenstand takes us deeper into the fires of our own disturbances with Clive Barker's Short Stories: Imagination as Metaphor in the Books of Blood and Other Works.In this book, Hoppenstand carefully dissects one of the most interesting minds of our time, and uses his work for a reflection on the current state of our society.Barker is usually thought of as a chotic and violent storyteller, and while that may be true to some extent, Hoppenstand offers his own insight and perspective to show a tender motive behind the blood. In this light it is easy to understand how a poet resides in Barker's turbulent imagination.For those wishing to get more out of madness, Hoppenstand has provided us with a tool for understanding ourselves, and the actions of others. ...

Product Description
A dazzling fantasy adventure for all ages, the second part of a quartet appearing at two yearly intervals, richly illustrated by the author. Film rights sold to Disney for USD8 million on the paintings alone. The Abarat:a magical otherworld composed on an archipelago of twenty-five islands -- one for each hour of the day, plus an island out of time. Candy Quackenbush, escaping her dull, dull life from the most boring place in our world, Chickentown, USA, finds that in the Abarat she has another existence entirely, one which links her to marvels and mysteries; and even to murder...In this, the second volume in Clive Barker's extraordinary fantasy for both adults and children, Candy's adventures in the amazing world of the Abarat are getting more strange by the Hour. Christopher Carrion, the Lord of Midnight, has sent his henchmen to capture her. Why? she wonders. What would Carrion want with a girl from Minnesota? And why is Candy beginning to feel that the world of the Abarat is familiar to her? Why can she speak words of magic she doesn't even remember learning? There is a mystery here.And Carrion, along with his fiendish grandmother, Mater Motley, suspects that whatever Candy is, she could spoil his plans to take control of the Abarat. Now Candy's companions must race against time to save her from the clutches of Carrion, and she must solve the mystery of her past before the forces of Night and Day clash and Absolute Midnight descends upon the islands. A final war is about to begin. And Candy is going to need to make some choices that will change her life forever... ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars "Incredible" does not even come close.
Clive Barker has done an incredible job in writing this book. This book is more imaginative and fantastic than the Harry Potter series. It has everything from wild fantasy, friendship, love, evil, the typical war between good and evil, fairy tale, deception, drama, comedy, etc. I would have given the book 10 stars if that was possible. It is a book which is not to be missed. It grabs you from the start and it is hard to put down. There were supposed to be a number of books to follow this first one and I think he only came out with one sequel. I hope for the sake of the future generations that Mr. Barker will come out with at least a few more sequels.

4-0 out of 5 stars Fantasy with that weird Barker touch
Now that the Harry Potter saga's come to a conclusion, there may be a little void left for the reader - child or adult - who enjoyed the type of fantasy that J.K. Rowling did so well:complex in plot but simple enough in language to be accessible to younger readers as well.Certainly, the best in the bunch would be The Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit) by Tolkien, but there are other choices out there, with probably the best of the rest being Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.Then there is Clive Barker's Abarat.

With the popularity of Harry Potter, a number of "adult" writers took their shot at writing for a younger audience with mixed success.Barker, one of the great horror fantasists around today, was not one of these bandwagon jumpers, having already written one good "juvenile" novel, The Thief of Always, long before anyone knew who Harry Potter was.With Abarat, he starts a series of books with a similar young-and-adult-alike audience in mind.

Abarat uses one of the standard fantasy plot devices involving a youngish girl named Candy Quackenbush who discovers a world beyond her mundane existence, one in which she has a great destiny.For Candy, the mundane world is her life in Chickentown, a dull town with one industry (poultry, of course), where she lives with her family that may not be at a Dursley-level of nastiness, but is nonetheless a rather unpleasant one (due, in large part, to an alcoholic, abusive father).

Candy's life changes when she encounters the master thief, Mischief.It doesn't take long for Candy to realize he's something extraordinary:after all, he has seven other heads at the end of antlers.Mischief is being pursued by another strange creature named Shape, and in the process of helping Mischief escape, Candy is transported to another world called the Abarat.This is a set of twenty-five islands, one for each hour of the day plus a mysterious extra island.This is no mere figure of speech:each island sits in a certain block of time, so the noon island is always in bright sunshine, while others under different states of night, day or twilight.

The ruler of the midnight island, Christopher Carrion, has a sinister agenda that involves bringing night to all the Arabat.His opponent, Rojo Pixler, is no good guy either, but is a relentless capitalist intent on a monopoly on all magic and converting the whole world (and Candy's world, known to the locals as the Hereafter) into his own marketplace.In the middle is Candy who has adventures as she goes from place-to-place as both Carrion and Pixler seek her, aware that she is something special.

Abarat is not a self-contained novel, but the first in a series (which I believe to date has only one other book published).As such, it is hard to judge the novel on its plot, which is obviously incomplete.Barker does do a good job at creating a truly bizarre world, one that at times is almost too bizarre.With humor, drama and danger throughout the book, this is a nice read, even if it not a perfect one.For Harry Potter fans who are looking for something new (but at the same time not just a pale Potter imitation), this is a good choice.

5-0 out of 5 stars clive barker rocks!
Ok, I'm not going to lie, i'm 23.and I absoutly love the Abarat books.They take you completly out of your current setting and make you feel like you're in a completly different world.If you want to escape reality for a little bit, this is the book for you. ... Read more
