A review by sea_caummisar
The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker

5.0

I recall a time (pre Kindle and internet days) when seeking out a book, I went by author name and/ or cover. And for whatever reason, id thought I had read most of Barkers stuff. This one fell under my radar. Maybe because it's an unfinished series. Maybe because it's more fantasy than horror. I honestly don't know why I hadn't read this one.
Then a couple weeks back, my local library had a free take home shelf. No way was I going to leave Everville by Clive Barker (the second book of the series) sit on that shelf and go to waste. So I brought it home. Then bought this one to begin the series.
And I'm so glad I did.
This very well could be one of my most fave books of all time. It's excellent. The crisp descriptions, the intricate plot, the realistic characters,etc.. everything makes this book a slam dunk. Highly recommend
