Book description
In the little town of Palomo Grove, two great armies are amassing;
forces shaped from the hearts and souls of America.
In this New York Times bestseller, Barker unveils one of the most
ambitious imaginative landscapes in modern fiction, creating a new
vocabulary for the age-old battle between good and evil. Carrying its
readers from the first stirring of consciousness to a vision of the end
of the world, The Great and Secret Show is a breathtaking journey in the
company of a master storyteller. Praise for Clive Barker:
'An invocation of both magic and the imagination… A majestic maze of mythmaking'
WASHINGTON TIMES

TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
'A fabulous, engrossing war of the worlds'
PEOPLE MAGAZINE
