Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0006179088, Paperback)

Armageddon begins with a murder in the Dead Letter Office in Omaha, Nebraska.

A lake that has never existed falls from the clouds over Palomo Grove, California.

Young passion blossoms, as the world withers with war.

The Great

and Secret Show has begun on the stage of the world.

And soon, the curtain must fall.

In this masterpiece of the imagination that explores the uncharted territory within our secret lives and the most private hearts, Clive Barker wields the full power and sweep of his extraordinary talents. Sprawling and ambitious, triumphantly magical and satisfying, The Great and Secret Show is an unforgettable epic for our time--and for the future.
