who makes Stephen King read like Mr. Rogers.Pick up "Books of Blood" if you haven't already. I think there are three of them.
Creepy isn't the word for it. Not sure there is a word for it.
Though ol' Clive stopped being as sick once he came out of the closet. I think a lot of repressed emotions got into his writing. Pity. Maybe he could start repressing something else, like a fondness for sheep or something.
Follow Ups:
It is by far, his most visual, intricate book. It always reminds my why I took all those drugs in my younger life. Not the most scary, but has some his most eery villans written.I agree with you, Barker makes Stephen King look like a Boy Scout. Although, King wrote a great forward to one of his early books, it went something like "I've seen the future of horror, and that future is Clive Barker."
"Books of Blood" is great, but "Damnation Game" ripped my skull open and rammed it's fingers in.
If they ever made a movie out of this book, and did a decent job of recreating the events and creatures, it would be creepy. I read a lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, and I really liked this book. The question that kept popping into my head was: "What kind of a sick mind could conceive of this stuff?"
