Clive
Barker has been the wonderkind of horror-fantasy fiction for well
over a decade, most notably among the film goers for the Hellraiser series,
and among readers for his incredibly dark and imaginative novels
WEAVEWORLD, IMAJICA, THE GREAT AND SECRET
SHOW, and EVERVILLE.
But for those who have read to read THE DAMNATION GAME, there is a treat in store, indeed. Like CABAL, another excellent. though shorter excursion into Barker's hellish realms, THE DAMNATION GAME takes an ordinary citizen, a bit down on on his luck, into a nightmarish existence where darkness, death, and the beyond death is so cruelly purveyed that Hell itself might seem a relief. The very motes of dust --- animated, evil, hungry --- that permeate the air the reader breathes in this book are intense and malignant. Here are beasts that do not die, here are monsters, once human that are human no more, here are chapters that keep you reading, fright after fright, into the darkness that calls your name.
