In Reply to: That would be Clive Barker posted by Randy Bey on July 03, 2001 at 08:22:55:
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.
Follow Ups:
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?"
