Clive Barker

Imajica

Chris Hilyer

Do I dare rate this five stars without grasping everything going on here? Yes, I dare. I feel like this one's going to be a reread.

Barker's writing is so smooth, but I still found this one to be a bit long. Regardless of my endurance issues, I can't seem to knock anything about this book. I ended up reading it in pieces with a few other books sprinkled in the middle. I think that might have diminished my experience. 

I hesitate to recommend any of Barker's books to friends because of his edginess and eroticism. He is also so genre bending he never settles into my perception of someone else's taste.

Not quite as engrossing as when I first read it, but it’s a fine work of fantasy, even if overlong and aimless at times.

Read this for the second time. I can't believe how much I forgot (which is hilarious if you've read the book)!! At over 700 pages, this story is well worth your time and effort. I had a hard time putting it down and would often think about it trying to find time to sneak in a few pages.

A book of revelations. A seamless tapestry of erotic passion, thwarted ambition and mythic horror. Clive Barker takes us on a voyage to worlds beyond our knowledge, but within our grasp.

John Manoogian III

The magical tale of ill-fated lovers lost among worlds teetering on the edge of destruction, where their passion holds the key to escape. There has never been a book like Imajica. Transforming every expectation offantasy fiction with its heady mingling of radical sexuality and spiritual anarchy, it has carried its millions of readers into regions of passion and philosophy that few books have even attempted to map. It's an epic in every way; vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution. A book of erotic mysteries and perverse violence. A book of ancient, mythological landscapes and even more ancient magic.

The Reconciliation

Imajica II

Clive Barker creates an unforgettable realm, the Imajica--five dominions of which one, the Earth, is isolated from the others. Formerly published as one volume, Imajica is now available as Books I and II. The stunning new repackage will appeal to old fans of the book and will draw new readers to this classic work.
