One thus far... uh, the one about movie stars and a house in L.A. with a room that led to an alternate universe. Ten points for originality. Three minute penalty for compulsive sordidness.

I just finished reading the book "The great and secret show" and "Weaveworld" and i have to say i am still confused, the way he writes is great, the ideas in his books are good but the way he puts them down just is confusing if you don't reread the book.

Ahhhh. I do love Clive Barker. So far I've read The Hellbound Heart ( which was made into the film Hellraiser), Cabal ( which was made into the film Nightbreed - one of my all time favourite films ) and two of his Abarat series. I can't wait for book 3 of Abarat!!!!!!!!
