What does /lit/ think of Clive Barker?
I think he's a brilliant author, though I'm mad at him for still not having written or published the 3rd book in The Art Trilogy.

His painful sex obsession makes his book rather awesome.

Whenever his books get boring you sort of snooze through them and then HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS CREATING GIANT EVIL SNAKE THINGS BY JIZZING ON HIS OWN SHIT and OH WOW THIS GUY IS GETTING HIS DICK SUCKED DRY TO DEATH BY CORPSES

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 17 04:57:37 2010 No.925651 I'll be honest, I first heard of Clive Barker when he helped make that video game who's name I can't seem to remember. What does he typically write about, is he any good? From the game I assumed he specialized in horror but wasn't sure.

The video game was called Jericho.

Yes, he is very good, although his plot is secondary to all the craziness and awesome in his stories.

Pic related, your face will look like this at least once while you read one of his books.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 17 05:09:37 2010 No.925679 >>925675 Start with Cabal or The Hellbound Heart.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 17 05:09:37 2010 No.925680 >>925679 Will do, thanks.
