Does anyone here read books by Clive Barker? Has anyone here actually met the man? :icon_blahblah:
I have read Lord of Illusions, liked the movie better. The Hellraiser series is awesome.

I wonder if the Thief of Always will ever be made into a film?

In
Books of Blood: Vol 1, 1991, there is a wonderful, strange novel "
In the Hills, the Cities" about two gay men Judd and Mick, traveling in Yugoslavia. They come to the twin cities of Popolac and Podujevo and there is going on a
"ritual battle" , people
"moving as one creature, one perfect giant."When I read it first time, I was amazed by its eery feeling and mythical proportions. I felt it to describe the split Yugoslavia... what could it describe.. heterosexist destructive collectivism, anti-individual society..
Sure, one of the best novels I have ever read..
I love Clive Barker. I need to read more of his books though.
I love his style, though I often don't like what he writes. Love the Abarat series, though.
Ive read the hellbound heart? I think thats what it was called.
it was pretty rad
i havent seen any of the movies since i was a kid though

I have met him a couple times. He's terrific. He was doing a drawing and he said, "should this be a man or a woman." I said "how about both." He said "Aha! now you're talking" then gave it to me.
So somewhere I have a Clive Barker hermaphrodite creature drawing.
I've read a ton of his books.
