Cabal

'A gripping story of powerful erotic intensity' Sunday Independant 'Barker's characteristic juxataposition of fascination and fear find eloquent expression in this novella which treats death as metamorphosis into another state of being.' Time Out

For more than two decades, Clive Barker has twisted the worlds of horrific and surrealistic fiction into a terrifying, transcendent genre all his own. With skillful prose, he enthralls even as he horrifies; with uncanny insight, he disturbs as profoundly as he reveals. Evoking revulsion and admiration, anticipation and dread, Barker's works explore the darkest contradictions of the human condition: our fear of life and our dreams of death.
