I picked it up in the library by chance the week the library put it on the "New Books" shelf and spend the next two weeks maddly reading it. I later bought it in paperback and around 2005 bought a hardcover version from Ebay along with "Great and Secret Show", which I have not read yet. It'll take a re-read to do a proper review, but to anyone who appreciates surreal horror, I feel this presents a great option. Didn't really enjoy this at all, compared to the other Barker books. This is pretty much when I stopped reading him, in general. A quite disappointing book after the other work I had enjoyed reading in the past. Hard to put the figure on quite why, but it could well be that there are just not enough monsters. http://superprose.blogspot.com/2006/1... 0.041 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
