FEATURED SELECTIONS
GALILEE--Hardcover. First Edition. From Kirkus Reviews , 05/11/98: Though its ghoul and demon quotient is comparatively low, this lavishly campy creeper has a

as The Books of Blood (1988) and The Damnation Game (1987). John O'Hara, William Faulkner,
and Barbara Cartland might have spent a lost weekend collaborating on this feverish tale of two

IMAJICA--Quality paperback. From Kirkus Reviews , 08/01/91:
Dazzling metaphysical epic-adventure as Barker surpasses his previous ground-breaking work (The
Great and Secret Show, 1989, etc.) to reconfigure the Fall and to imagine a modern-day attempt to
reverse it. A complex cosmology underpins the vigorous, at times horrific, action here: ``Imajica'' is
the known universe of five ``Dominions,'' or parallel worlds, four ``reconciled'' but the fifth, Earth,
``unreconciled''--unaware of the other four, of the tyrannical ``Autarch'' who rules them, and of the
``God Hapeximendios,'' who oversees all five (and who wrested ``His'' power from the
``Goddesses'' of old). $12.00
IN THE FLESH--Mass market paperback reissue edition. This collection of short fiction proves how entertaining, erotic and resonant horror fiction can be. In
a Greek asylum, wise men race frogs to decide the fate of the world; a petty convict's cellmate
reveals to him the guresome birth of evil; and a young woman's slum research leads her into the
hook-handed grip of the Candyman, a vicious supernatural thriller. $5.59
INCARNATIONS: THREE PLAYS--Quality paperback. (or for a signed, hardback, see our Rare Books page). Created as epic spectacles for the stage, these immensely readable dramas burst with extraordinary
characters, apocalyptic images and violent, often erotic, encounters. In Colossus, the subject is the
great Spanish painter Goya. Deluging us with an overpowering stream of stage pictures, Barker
evokes a world where love, art, cannibalism, and sudden redemption are interwoven. In
Frankenstein in Love, Barker's homage to Mary Shelley's masterpiece and the shockingly graphic
tradition of Grand Guignol theatre, we are invited to a wedding the likes of which the world has
never seen. In the History of The Devil, Lucifer himself is brought to trial and, clue by clue, we
piece together the mystery of Evil Incarnate. Dim the lights. Raise the curtain. The stage is set for
three journeys into the dark heart of the imagination. $12.00
INHUMAN CONDITION--Mass market paperback. Clive Barker, the exciting master of horror, unleashes a world of powerful eroticism, violence and
uncontrolled desires. In these five brilliant tales human hands tear themselves from their masters to
start a bloody revolution; a knotted string unravels dark hungering nightmares; in a Texas motel
room, the living and the dead make love; a palace is built to lure Satan back to earth; and a
powerful aphrodisiac creates ghastly sexual urgings. $5.59
SACRAMENT--Mass market paperback reprting edition. A Horror Editor's Recommended Book, 05/01/97:
A boy has an encounter with a man who causes extinctions of other species, so he grows up to be a
man who documents (and thus appeals for a halt to) those extinctions. This dark fantasy tale is
unlike Clive Barker's other recent ones: it is more tightly plotted, and more of this world. In a
sequence of well-executed stories within stories (comparable to Russian dolls), Barker unfolds a
compelling examination of what it means to be human, to be a man, and to be a gay man--on a
planet where aging, disease, and death bring "the passing of things, of days and beasts and men he'd
loved." A satisfying long novel packed with vivid images, memorable characters, and a melancholy
mood that reaches for hope.
$5.59
THE THIEF OF ALWAYS--Mass market paperback reprint edition. The hero--ten-year-old Harvey Swick--encounters
another world, by having his cry of boredom answered by a yellow-skinned man named Rictus who
flies through Harvey's bedroom window and offers to take him to ``Holiday House.'' The boy
agrees and, led through a wall of fog, finds himself in a magical place where, during each 24 hours,
all four seasons pass (hot, sunny afternoons; snowy winter nights, etc.) along with their holidays,
including Christmas mornings that find Harvey's most cherished wishes answered beneath the tree.
It's paradise, Harvey thinks at first, but soon wonders: Why is fellow- visitor Lulu so morose? What
kind of fish are those, with eyes like ``prisoners,'' lurking in the pond out back? And where is Mr.
Hood, the House's wish-granting owner? In time, Harvey senses evil at work and flees, only to find
that, back home, his parents have aged a year for every day at the House. And so he returns to the
House, to find and battle Mr. Hood and win back his stolen years.

destroy humanity." $5.59
