Later he moved towards modern-day fantasy and urban fantasy with horror elements in Weaveworld (1987), The Great and Secret Show (1989), the world-spanning Imajica (1991) and Sacrament (1996), bringing in the deeper, richer concepts of reality, the nature of the mind and dreams, and the power of words and memories. Barker's distinctive style is characterized by the notion of hidden fantastical worlds coexisting with our own, the role of sexuality in the supernatural and the construction of coherent, complex and detailed universes. Barker has referred to this style as "dark fantasy" or the "fantastique". His stories are notable for a deliberate blurring of the distinction between binary opposites such as hell and heaven, or pleasure and pain (the latter particularly so in The Hellbound Heart). When the Books of Blood were first published in the United States in paperback, Stephen King was quoted on the book covers: "I have seen the future of horror, his name is Clive Barker." http://imdb.com/name/nm0000850/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecraft Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Awesome guest, will definitley be meeting him! I LOL'd at all the John Carpenter guesses. Something tells me that Carpenter would never take an international flight to an autograph convention. It was hard enough to motivate him to make 'The Ward'!
