Book description
The long-awaited return of the great master of horror. Mister B. Gone
is Barker's shockingly bone-chilling discovery of a
never-before-published demonic 'memoir' penned in the year 1438, when it
was printed - one copy only - and then buried until now by an assistant
who worked for the inventor of the printing press, Johannes Gutenberg.
This bone-chilling novel, in which a medieval devil speaks directly to
his reader-his tone murderous one moment, seductive the next-is a
never-before-published memoir allegedly penned in the year 1438.
The demon has embedded himself in the very words of this tale of
terror, turning the book itself into a dangerous object, laced with
menace only too ready to break free and exert its power.
A brilliant and truly unsettling tour de force of the supernatural,
Mister B. Gone escorts the reader on an intimate and revelatory journey
to uncover the shocking truth of the battle between Good and Evil.
