false 1011632 9 <P> Mister B. Gone marks the long-awaited return of Clive Barker, the great master of the macabre, to the classic horror story. This bone-chilling novel, in which a medieval devil speaks directly to his reader--his tone murderous one moment, seductive the next--is a never-before-published memoir allegedly penned in the year 1438. The demon has embedded himself in the very words of this tale of terror, turning the book itself into a dangerous object, laced with menace only too ready to break free and exert its power. </p> <P> A brilliant and truly unsettling tour de force of the supernatural, <i>Mister B. Gone</i> escorts the reader on an intimate and revelatory journey to uncover the shocking truth of the battle between Good and Evil. </p> 2851045 book 30 10 2007 Mister B.
