New Releases by Clive Barker

The second anthology of short story comics set in Barker''s incredibly popular horror film milieu, this book collects ten Hellraiser-themed offerings, in full-colour from an all-star line-up of comics writers and illustrators, including Larry Wachowski (The Matrix), John Bolton, John Van Fleet, Dwayne McDuffie, Dave Dorman and many others.

In the dark recesses of the human imagination lies an erotic potential that is rarely explored. Rare Flesh dares to venture into this taboo territory, pairing Armstrong''s stunning male nudes with provocative poetry and prose by Clive Barker. Fans of Barker''s best-selling novels and films–from Weaveworld to Hellraiser–are already familiar with his unique brand of eroticism, and they will be eager to see it brought to life visually for the first time here. Distinguished from other male nude photography books, Rare Flesh presents a series of photo essays that each explores a different fantasy scenario that could have sprung from a Barker novel. Dozens of models of varying body types and backgrounds were chosen, and each was encouraged to act out his own personal dreamscape, working with the photographer. The images, fashioned with the latest digital technology, often play with the viewer''s perceptions, as many of the models are covered entirely in black body paint or shot against solid-color backgrounds. The results transform the body and tease the viewer, showing us the male form as we''ve never seen it before. This dynamic work is an intensely collaborative effort between Armstrong and Barker, who are life-partners, as the text delves into themes of love, betrayal, loneliness, and redemption.

A deluxe anthology of the Eisner-nominated mini-series bringing the best of Barker''s short stories to the comics medium. Barker''s stories are brought to a stunning visual realisation by the comics world''s greatest artistic talent, including John Bolton, P. Craig, Russell, Klaus Jansen, Tim Conrad, Stan Woch, Hector Gomex and more. Collected here are such horror classics as Skins of the Fathers'', ''Human Remains'', ''In the Hills, In the Cities'', ''Down Satan'', ''How Spoilers Bleed'', ''The Madonna'' and ''Hell''s Event''...just to name a few.

Rediscover the true meaning of fear in this collection of horror stories from New York Times bestselling author Clive Barker. “The most provocative tales of terror ever published.”—The Washington Post Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we''re opened, we''re red... With the publication of Books of Blood, Clive Barker became an overnight literary sensation. His tour de force collection of brilliantly disturbing tales demonstrated a genius for dark invention that rivaled Poe and Sade. He was hailed by Stephen King as “the future of horror,” and won both the British and World Fantasy Awards. Now, with his numerous bestsellers, graphic novels, and hit movies like the Hellraiser films, Clive Barker has become an industry unto himself. It is his powerful writing style and arresting imagery that have made Books of Blood a classic—and Clive Barker a cult phenomenon.

A comprehensive presentation of the evolution of the horror story, filled with significant and powerful works by the masters of the genre.

Three plays by the master of the macabre include "Colossus," in which master artist Goya experiences sudden redemption; "Frankenstein in Love," where an unusual wedding takes place; and "The History of the Devil," in which Lucifer is brought to trial.

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.

Tegneserier.

Several Crime Stories.

From his Books of Blood to The Damnation Game, Weaveworld, and The Great and Secret Show, to scores of short stories, bestselling novels, and now major motion pictures, no one comes close to the vivid imagination and unique terrors provided by Clive Barker. The Hellbound Heart is one of his best, a nerve-shattering novella about the human heart and all the great terrors and ecstasies within its endless domain. It is about greed and love, lovelessness and despair, desire and death, life and captivity, bells and blood. It is one of the most dead-frightening stories you are likely to ever read.

Roman.

From a power-invested ancient Roman statue that steals souls to long-dead movie stars resurrected to serve the forces of evil, these three collections of short stories combine the extraordinary with the ordinary, to create a nightmarish world of terror and the macabre

Terrifying and forbidding, subversive and insightful, Clive Barker''s groundbreaking stories revolutionized the worlds of horrific and fantastical fiction and established Barker''s dominance over the otherworldly and the all-too-real. Here, as two businessmen encounter beautiful and seductive women and an earnest young woman researches a city slum, Barker maps the boundless vistas of the unfettered imagination -- only to uncover a profound sense of terror and overwhelming dread.
