Un nuovo capitolo del viaggio epico di Candy Quackenbush nel mondo fantastico e feroce di Abarat: un arcipelago dove ogni isola è un’ora di un giorno, eterno teatro di una lotta senza tregua tra il buio e la luce. Ad accompagnarla la sua improbabile banda di amici abaratiani: il rattopardo Malingo, i litigiosi Fratelli John, Tom Due Alluci, Geneva… Altri ancora se ne aggiungeranno lungo il cammino: tra loro Gazza, forse destinato a diventare più di un amico. Arcani presagi spingono Candy a solcare le acque del Mar d’Izabella: tutto intorno affiorano segni che preannunciano tempesta. Mater Motley è ossessionata dalla folle ambizione di diventare Imperatrice delle Isole e per raggiungere il suo scopo sferra un attacco semplice quanto diabolico: oscura i cieli, coprendo soli, lune e stelle, e stana dagli angoli più remoti dell’arcipelago mostruosi alleati disposti a combattere la sua battaglia. Implacabili tenebre calano su Abarat: l’Assoluta Mezzanotte ha inizio.

Zbiór opowiadań grozy Clive'a Barkera to dla czytelników okazja, by na nowo odkryć prawdziwe znaczenie słowa strach. Wszystkie nasze ciała to księgi krwi: Gdy nas otworzyć, widać czerwień. Wydanie Ksiąg krwi z dnia na dzień uczyniło z Clive'a Barkera sensację literackiego świata. Błyskotliwy zbiór niepokojących, upiornie poruszających opowiadań dowodził mrocznego talentu porównywalnego z geniuszem Poego i de Sade'a. Stephen King nazwał Barkera, zdobywcę British Fantasy Award i World Fantasy Award, przyszłością horroru. W licznych bestsellerach i powieściach graficznych, a także kasowych filmach takich chociażby jak cykl Hellraiser, Clive Barker wypracował sobie własną, niepowtarzalną markę w świecie horroru. Jego działający na wyobraźnię, niezwykle obrazowy styl wprowadził Księgi krwi do klasyki gatunku, a jemu samemu dał miano pisarza kultowego.

Grausam, verstörend, blutig und wortgewaltig – seine Erzählungen sind Meilensteine der Horror-Literatur.

The last chapter of Clive Barker's Next Testament! The otherworldly being known as Wick has conquered the planet -- after multiple displays of force that have severely damaged the world's travel and telecommunications systems, he rules the world unopposed, with an increasingly large group of disciples following his every move. But not every one is as enamored with Earth's new Lord -- the young lovers Tristan & Elspeth continue their cross-country quest for answers, and as they reach the East Coast, they may just find the allies they seek. The Harvey-Nominated epic comes to its thrilling conclusion, as Master of Horror Clive Barker joins forces with co-writer Mark Alan Miller (HELLRAISER) and artist Haemi Jang (HELLRAISER: THE ROAD BELOW) wrap one of the most popular horror comics of recent memory.

What if God came back and told us we'd gotten it all wrong? God has returned to the world in a manner that only horror master Clive Barker could imagine. His name is Wick and he is the God of Colors, the god of the Old Testament, and he is displeased with humanity. Wick’s flock continues to grow, but this brings him no pleasure – what he asks of Julian next may bring his closest disciple to the breaking point. Meanwhile, Tristan & Elspeth meet a pastor who knows plenty about both of them...and Julian. Meanwhile, Julian is forced to make a very public display of loyalty to Wick, as their flock meets resistance from an unexpected source, and Wick’s jealousy leads to a show of force unlike any of his previous acts...

Clive Barker's Hellraiser epic continues with a war among Pinheads! Clive Barker’s reimagining of the HELLRAISER franchise continues, as the new Pope of Hell, Harry D’Amour, discovers why he was chosen for his new role, while his former allies question their loyalty to him.

Deutsche Erstausgabe

Knihy krve nejsou pro citlivé nátury. Jestli už máte dost příběhů na dobrou noc, které jen čerpají z o mnoho kvalitnějších autorů, tak potom vás zajisté potěší, že jste objevili mistra hororu Cliva Barkera, který se v posledních letech ukázal jako autor v tom nejlepším slova smyslu šokující. Kdo však okusí jeho bizarní světy, pro toho už není návratu...

Ein Grusel-Märchen für Jugendliche und Erwachsene Als der kleine Harvey sich im trostlosesten Monat des Jahres (als ihn die „große graue Bestie Februar“ verschlungen hat) schrecklich langweilt, taucht unvermittelt ein Fremder namens Rictus auf und nimmt ihn mit ins Paradies der Kindheit, wo alle Wünsche wahr werden. Eigentlich eine fantastische Sache. Doch Harvey muss bald erfahren, dass alles seinen Preis hat - und der Preis seiner Abenteuer, die er erlebt, ist hoch. Mit „Der Dieb der Zeit“ (auch unter dem Titel „Das Haus der verschwundenen Jahre“ als Taschenbuch erschienen) beweist Clive Barker, der mit seinen Büchern des Blutes und dem Film „Hellraiser“ das Horror- und Fantasy-Genre revolutionierte, einmal mehr sein vielseitiges Talent. „Die Zeichnungen wirken real, sind nicht überzeichnet und geben dieser fantastischen Geschichte auf gelungene Art und Weise ein Gesicht. Aus meiner Sicht sind das die bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt besten Comics, die bisher unter Clive Barkers Namen veröffentlicht wurden.“ (Offizieller deutscher Clive Barker Fanclub "That's Clive„) “Was man aber mit Gewissheit sagen kann, ist dass Clive Barker's The Thief of Always ein Comic ist, der von Kris Oprisko (Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil) und Gabriel Hernandez (CVO: Artifact) eindrucksvoll erzählt wird."

The long-awaited return of the great master of horror. Mister B. Gone is Barker's shockingly bone-chilling discovery of a never-before-published demonic `memoir' penned in the year 1438, when it was printed - one copy only - and then buried until now by an assistant who worked for the inventor of the printing press, Johannes Gutenberg.

Exploring the evolution of Pop culture from the late 1950s to the late 1960s, this comprehensive survey examines its impact on art, film, photography, and architecture, highlighting the interplay between mass production and mass media. Unlike other works that focus solely on Pop art, it offers a holistic view of the movement's influence across America, Britain, and Europe, showcasing its diverse manifestations and cultural significance during this transformative era.

Candy Quackenbush a basculé dans un monde parallèle, l'archipel d'Abarat, composé d'îles correspondant chacune à une heure de la journée. Plus la jeune fille s'enfonce dans Abarat, plus elle risque sa vie, car Christopher Gangrène, le seigneur de Minuit, a lancé ses hommes à sa poursuite. Candy n'arrive pas à comprendre pourquoi ce tyran sanguinaire lui voue une haine si farouche. Le temps presse, pourtant : la jeune fille doit résoudre l'énigme de son passé avant que les forces de la Nuit lancent leur attaque et que le noir absolu de Minuit recouvre à jamais les îles d'Abarat.

A journey beyond imagination is about to unfold. . . . It begins in the most boring place in the world: Chickentown, U.S.A. There lives Candy Quackenbush, her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future might hold. When the answer comes, it's not one she expects. Welcome to the Abarat.

Hollywood has made a star of Todd Pickett. But time is catching up with him. He doesn't have the perfect looks he had last year. After plastic surgery goes awry, Todd needs somewhere to hide away for a few months while his scars heal. As Todd settles into a mansion in Coldheart Canyon--a corner of the city so secret it doesn't even appear on any map--Tammy Lauper, the president of his fan club, comes to the City of Angels determined to solve the mystery of Todd's disappearance. Her journey will not be an easy one. The closer she gets to Todd the more of Coldheart Canyon's secrets she uncovers: the ghosts of the A-list stars who came to the Canyon for wild parties; Katya Lupi, the cold-hearted, now-forgotten star for whom the Canyon was named, who is alive and exquisite after a hundred years; and, finally, the door in the bowels of Katya's dream palace that reputedly open up to another world, the Devil's Country. No one who has ever ventured to this dark, barbaric corner of hell has returned without their sould shadowed by what they'd seen and done. Mingling an insider's view of modern Hollywood with a wild streak of visionary fantasy, Coldheart Canyon is a book without parallel: an irresistible and unmerciful picture of Hollywood and its demons, told with all the style and raw narrative power that have made Clive Barker's books and films a phenomenon worldwide.

It may be a scene in a film, such as the shower scene in "Psycho", or a character such as Freddie in "Nightmare on Elm Street".
