Hmm 🤔 whenever I need a go to Author who never lets me down I can't go past the master Stephen King or Clive Barker. I find Clive Barker's imagination just blows me away. Whether it's Weaveworld or The Great and Secret Show I just adore the worlds and characters he creates and his overall scope. The Stand (uncut) I'm really looking forward to re-reading...So much to read! So little time! O the joys of wanting to read EVERYTHING!!!
see, ive only read one book by Clive Barker and that was Abarat 🤣 and loved it but then no third book yet 🤣🤣🤣what ones would u recommend? I'm not a massive horror fan though... I'm such a fraidy-cat
Well...umm...let's see 🤔for a Fraidy cat 😂I'd recommend The Thief of Always. Very short, just over 200 pages with cool illustrations Clive did himself. It's a dark fairy tale of sorts. Certainly a Clive Barker book without the horror. I wouldn't recommend The Books of Blood volumes 1 to 6 then! 🤣 Imajica is my fave. It's a fatty at over 1000 pages. It's more apocalyptic, eerie, and magical. Even erotic at times. Not too horrific. But then again I'm not a Fraidy cat! 😂
I wouldn't exactly class Clive as a horror novelist - with the exception of The Books of Blood. I think his works are more fantastical. Do you have a fave genre? I'll look into opening some new threads. I've never done that before, but I've got some ideas 😊
go for it! opening other threads... I'm.mainly a fantasy/sci-fi reader as I use the written world as my escape from my ADHD brain lolI'll look in to the their of always.
I'll also change title of other thread to the books of blood series 🤣
