Peter's review of The Thief of Always
The Thief of Always by Clive Barker
This is pretty good. Its a fairly typical children's story motif: Child lured to apparently happy magical place by a character who's intentions are at first unclear. And with all in the genre, you get the sense that things are going to go bad and get dark, with the brunt of the suspense stemming from the all-important question: how bad and dark are they going to get.
Given that it is a classic idea that has been done a million times, this really isn't half bad. The art for the most part is very neat and the writing's pretty good. What its most successful at is building the suspense/apprehension to learn just how creepy this Holiday House really is.
