Críticas:

"Mr. Barker is much more than a genre writer, and his extravagantly unconventional inventions are ingenious refractions of our common quest to experience and understand the mysterious world around us and the mysteries within ourselves."-- "The New York Times Book Review""Confirms the author's position...as one of modern fiction's premier metaphysicians."-- "Publishers Weekly""Mesmerizing invention."-- "Publishers Weekly""[A] dazzling metaphysical epic-adventure...an astonishing feat of imagination...Barker's best yet." -- "Kirkus Reviews""Spellbinding."-- "Atlanta Journal""Barker's most ambitious work to date...Rapturously full of emotions."-- "L.A. Life""Rich in plot twists, byzantine intrigues and hidden secrets, "Imajica" is a Chinese puzzle box constructed on a universal scale...Barker has an unparalleled talent forenvisioning other worlds."-- "Washington Post Book World""Our most accomplished contemporary purveyor of horror fiction strikes again in "Everville, " a tale of worlds in conflict in which...Hieronymus Bosch paints before and after pictures of our town...One spectacularly visionary climax after another...Exhilarating. [Barker's] extravagantly unconventional inventions are ingenious refractions of our common quest to experience and understand the mysterious world around us and the mysteries within ourselves."--" New York Times Book Review""A spectacular sequel to his masterpiece of dark fantasy, "The Great and Secret Show." For all his facility at apocalyptic wonders, Barker's greatest strength remains his grasp on the yearnings of the heart and spirit. At times profound, this novel confirms the author's position...as one of modern fictions premier metaphysicians."--"Publishers Weekly""With "Everville" Clive Barker once again proves he is one of the most imaginative writers working today."-- "The Virginian Pilot" and "The Ledger State""Both camp fantasy and majestic invention...the characters really live, even when dead."-- "Mail on Sunday"

Reseña del editor:

On the borderland between this world and the world of Quiddity, the sea of our dreams, sits Everville.For years it has lived in ignorance of the gleaming shore on which it lies.But its ignorance is not bliss. Opening the door between worlds, Clive Barker delivers his characters into the heart of the human mystery; into a place of revelation, where the forces which have shaped our past—and are ready to destroy our future—are at work.
