This is the first Clive Barker I have read and I liked it. It's a fantasy novel for young adults.

I like that the main character is from a small town in Minnesota (which is obviously meant to be in stark contrast to the fantasy world they enter). It is a town that revolves around a chicken plant. I know towns like this (substitute turkey).

I like the artwork.

This book seems to be setting us up for the future books. It's a complex fantasy world he has created, so there's lots to explore. I will read more.
