  <default_description>Clive Barker has made his mark on modern fiction by exposing all that is surreal and magical in the ordinary world --- and exploring the profound and overwhelming terror that results. With its volatile mix of the fantastical and the contemporary, the everyday and the otherworldly, &lt;I&gt;Weaveworld&lt;/I&gt; is an epic work of dark fantasy and horror -- a tour de force from one of today's most forceful and imaginative artists.&lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Haven't really a clue when I read this book but it must have been re-read near the date below, I think this is Barker's finest work flipping between Mooney's life of stark mediocracy and the fantastic realm perfectly.<br/>In a desert of mediocre Fantasy books that run with the same kind of general ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70941520">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't think this story would pull me and sure enough I was obsessed. A somewhat complicated but completely engaging story about a lost world/race of people that, after a near annihilation, magically weaved their world into a rug for protection from their enemies. That sounds crazy, but it works! ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61376386">more...</a>]]></body>

I kept subtracting in my head so I knew exactly how many pages I had left to read. <br/><br/>Wasn't scary enough for me, and the characters d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74418787">more...</a>]]></body>

The funny thing is, I tried to read this when I was younger but I didn't realize until I was around a quarter of the way in.
