Clive Barker

    5 de octubre de 1952

    Clive Barker es un maestro del terror y la fantasía contemporáneos, que no teme explorar conceptos profundos de la realidad, la mente y los sueños. Sus primeros trabajos se centraron en cuentos de terror y novelas faustianas, mientras que su obra posterior evolucionó hacia la fantasía moderna con elementos de horror que examinan el poder de las palabras y la memoria. Barker es también un prolífico artista visual que a menudo ilustra sus propios libros y ha realizado importantes contribuciones al cine como director y guionista. Su voz distintiva y su audaz imaginación lo convierten en una fuerza literaria verdaderamente única.

      Bestselling author of The Great and Secret Show Clive Barker once again enters the realm of pure imagination. The Imajica: five Dominions of which four are bound together and one, the Earth, is cut off from her sisters. Only a few know of the Imajica, and of those few many are frightened. A time of great risk and promise is coming when three memorable characters -- John Furie Zacharias, known as Gentle, a master forger whose own life is a tissue of deception; Judith Odell, a beautiful woman desired by three men but belonging to none of them; and Pie `oh' Pah, an assassin who deals in love as well as death -- will have the power to either reconcile Earth with her fellow Dominions or keep her adrift forever.
