A must read. Think NEVERENDING STORY for adults. ( )

I read this before "Great and Secret Show" without realizing it was the sequel. I thoroughly enjoyed this. 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.

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0006472257, Paperback)

With Clive Barker's trademark mingling of wild fantasy, eroticism, and visionary horror, Everville promises a journey that will awe, arouse, and terrify in equal measure, opening the doors of a new reality--a strange and sensual wonderland of magical possibility.

Enthralling and chilling, this is a novel about the deepest yearnings of the human heart. And about monsters that are never more terrible than when they wear human faces. Step onto Everville's streets and enter a world like no other in fiction. A world only Clive Barker could create.
