From the Back Cover:
“Absorbing and meticulous, this thorough accounting of Clive Barker as a man of boundless imagination is a work of solid scholarship and a complete portrait of a still-young, still-evolving artist who has accomplished much”
Washington Times
“Weaves literary analysis and biography to paint a compelling portrait of a restless writer, director, producer and actor”
Variety
“Reading and completing The Dark Fantastic, I felt transformed. Don’t hesitate to open this physically and metaphysically huge book and enjoy every word of it. You will emerge liberated and ready to discover new worlds of your own”
Nova Express

Book Description Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condition: Fine: Very small signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Cover Art: Mikiholo (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 2001: The authorized biography of Clive Barker. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Clive Barker: a contemporary myth-maker, explorer of our darkest instincts and ultimate fears - the writer who, more than any other contemporary figure, has shaped our nightmares through diverse media. Novelist, playwright, scriptwriter, artist and director, he is a master at twisting the mundane to make it fantastic, frightening and ultimately meaningful. Douglas E Winter's detailed and highly literate biography, made possible by unprecedented access to Barker and his closest friends and family, offers readers a privileged insight into Barker's own story: his Liverpool childhood and adolescence, his forays into the world of theatre, mime and direction; his meteoric rise to fame as the author of 'The Books Of Blood' and 'Weaveworld', and the director of 'Hellraiser'; his move to Hollywood to pursue a film career and his growth as an artist in many different media, which has taken him from theatre - the first form of human expression - into the digital age. Interwoven with this revealing and personal journey into Barker's life is a grand tour through all of his fiction and film, from his earliest unpublished work - including the short story, 'The Wood On The Hill', which is published here for the first time - up to 'Coldheart Canyon' and beyond, giving a tantalising glimpse of things to come. 'Clive Barker: The Dark Fantastic' unlocks the beating heart of a polymath, a creator, a true artist, and reveals at last a man with one of the twentieth century's most phenomenal imaginations, and the vision to lead us on many strange and fabulous journeys in the years ahead:- Review(s): "Douglas E Winter gives us an affecting portrait of a remarkably self-aware young artist-in-the-making. Through his biographer's close reading, exhaustive research, and imaginative insight, Clive Barker emerges from 'The Dark Fantastic' as an extravagantly gifted and courageous man and writer" - Peter Straub / "To call Clive Barker 'a horror novelist' would be like calling The Beatles 'a garage band'. Always creating and always pushing into the furthest reaches of the human mind, he is an artist in every sense of the word. He is the great imaginer of our time. He not only knows our deepest fears, but also what delights us, what turns us on, and what is truly holy in the world. Haunting, bizarre, beautiful. These are the only words we can use to describe Clive Barker until we invent new, more fitting, adjectives" - Quentin Tarantino:- (original cost £17.99). Seller Inventory # 18.005.00102
