Imagica was published in hardcover in one volume, but it's such a tremendous book (in size as well as scope) that when it went to MMPB, the publishers divided it into two 500+ page books. Made more money that way. And it was a little easier to carry about. Clive Barker is still a genius, and I didn't mind buying both books to support his talent. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Like the theater districts of so many great cities across the Imajica, whether in Reconciled Dominions or in the Fifth, the neighborhood in which the Ipse stood had been a place of some notoriety in earlier times, when actors of both sexes had supplemented their wages with the old fiveacter-hiring, retiring, seduction, conjunction, and remittance- all played hourly, night and day.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061094153, Mass Market Paperback)

The magical tale of ill-fated lovers lost among worlds teetering on the edge of destruction, where their passion holds the key to escape.

There has never been a book like Imajica. Transforming every expectation offantasy fiction with its heady mingling of radical sexuality and spiritual anarchy, it has carried its millions of readers into regions of passion and philosophy that few books have even attempted to map. It's an epic in every way; vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution. A book of erotic mysteries and perverse violence. A book of ancient, mythological landscapes and even more ancient magic.
