Clive Barker Libri

Abarat è un mondo fantastico parallelo a quello in cui viviamo, un arcipelago composto da venticinque isole: ventiquattro come le ore del giorno, più la venticinquesima che rappresenta il Tempo Fuori dal Tempo, un luogo in cui le leggi della fisica e le regole dell'universo conosciuto cessano di esistere. Candy Quackenbush, una ragazzina sedicenne, scopre di avere il potere di viaggiare da una realtà all'altra. Nel suo straordinario cammino, Candy incontra i personaggi più incredibili, a volte divertenti, spesso misteriosi e pericolosi.

La novella da cui è stato tratto il celebre film Hellraiser (1987) e che ha dato vita all'iconico personaggio di Pinhead. L'insaziabile appetito di Frank Cotton per i piaceri più estremi lo ha condotto a risolvere l'enigma della scatola di Lemarchand, un portale in grado di garantire l'accesso a un mondo extra-dimensionale abitato dai Cenobiti, membri di un ordine religioso dedicato a insondabili ed estremi piaceri carnali, che lo hanno imprigionato in uno stato di non-esistenza di eterna tortura e sofferenza. Ma la moglie di suo fratello, Julia, ha scoperto un modo per riportare in vita Frank e liberarlo dalla sua prigione di dolore, anche se il prezzo da pagare sarà terribile.

Master storyteller and bestselling novelist Clive Barker creates an enchanting tale for both children and adults to cherish and retell. The Thief of Always tells the haunting story of Harvey, a bright 10-year-old who is suffering from the winter doldrums, and of a creature who takes him to a place where every day is filled with fun, and Christmas comes every night. Illustrated.

Un nuovo capitolo del viaggio epico di Candy Quackenbush nel mondo fantastico e feroce di Abarat: un arcipelago dove ogni isola è un’ora di un giorno, eterno teatro di una lotta senza tregua tra il buio e la luce. Ad accompagnarla la sua improbabile banda di amici abaratiani: il rattopardo Malingo, i litigiosi Fratelli John, Tom Due Alluci, Geneva… Altri ancora se ne aggiungeranno lungo il cammino: tra loro Gazza, forse destinato a diventare più di un amico. Arcani presagi spingono Candy a solcare le acque del Mar d’Izabella: tutto intorno affiorano segni che preannunciano tempesta. Mater Motley è ossessionata dalla folle ambizione di diventare Imperatrice delle Isole e per raggiungere il suo scopo sferra un attacco semplice quanto diabolico: oscura i cieli, coprendo soli, lune e stelle, e stana dagli angoli più remoti dell’arcipelago mostruosi alleati disposti a combattere la sua battaglia. Implacabili tenebre calano su Abarat: l’Assoluta Mezzanotte ha inizio.

In questo volume, il primo della serie Libri di sangue, si farà la conoscenza della dottoressa Mary Florescu, il cui esperimento parascientifico, condotto assieme al giovane medium Simon McNeal, darà il via a una girandola infernale che coinvolge i vivi e i morti facendoci scoprire perché possiamo dirci tutti "libri di sangue".

L'Armageddon ha inizio in sordina. Nel 1971, quattro ragazze vanno a nuotare in un lago misterioso e fatato, nei dintorni della cittadina californiana di Palomo. Nove mesi dopo nascono dei bambini. Due sono figli del Jaff, un’entità che vuole il Male. L’altro è figlio di Fletcher, una forza luminosa e positiva, nemica del Jaff. La posta in palio nella lotta eterna tra il Bene e il Male è l’Arte, il più grande potere che esista. Grazie all’Arte si possono utilizzare degli squarci infradimensionali e passare dal nostro mondo ad altri e viceversa. Il Male che può venire dagli altri mondi è qualcosa di terribile, di inimmaginabile per noi limitati umani. Sarà una lotta all’ultimo sangue, nel corso del quale l’incubo camminerà per le strade, i sogni diventeranno realtà, la realtà sogno, e niente potrà più tornare come prima... Una fiaba dei nostri tempi, crudele e dolcissima, ambientata nell’assolata California.

Questo libro rappresenta un ritorno al genio letterario, continuando la narrazione del romanzo oscuro "La grande e segreta show". La saga esplora l'intreccio tra il nostro mondo e quello marino della Sostanza, rivelando luoghi straordinari e sinistri, offrendo all'autore britannico una tela su cui dipingere immagini bosciane. Le visioni di Clive Barker si intrecciano in modo coeso, spaziando da una gerarchia divina che manipola i destini umani a una città piramidale, la cui comprensione richiederebbe un glossario o una mappa, ma tali guide non esistono. La narrazione inizia con la devastazione di un gruppo di pionieri del Vecchio West da parte di un intruso della Sostanza, mentre i personaggi sono circondati da meraviglie agghiaccianti. Si scatenano battaglie titaniche tra esseri umani e creature, intrappolati in un conflitto tra due uomini spietati in cerca dell'"Arte", il potere di alterare tempo e spazio. Dalla cima di una montagna sopra Everville in Oregon, penetra Iad, una forza distruttiva. In questa visione apocalittica, Barker dimostra la sua maestria nella comprensione dei desideri umani, consolidando il suo status di scrittore influente non solo nella letteratura horror, ma anche come metafisico della fiction moderna.

Ein Grusel-Märchen für Jugendliche und Erwachsene Als der kleine Harvey sich im trostlosesten Monat des Jahres (als ihn die „große graue Bestie Februar“ verschlungen hat) schrecklich langweilt, taucht unvermittelt ein Fremder namens Rictus auf und nimmt ihn mit ins Paradies der Kindheit, wo alle Wünsche wahr werden. Eigentlich eine fantastische Sache. Doch Harvey muss bald erfahren, dass alles seinen Preis hat - und der Preis seiner Abenteuer, die er erlebt, ist hoch. Mit „Der Dieb der Zeit“ (auch unter dem Titel „Das Haus der verschwundenen Jahre“ als Taschenbuch erschienen) beweist Clive Barker, der mit seinen Büchern des Blutes und dem Film „Hellraiser“ das Horror- und Fantasy-Genre revolutionierte, einmal mehr sein vielseitiges Talent. „Die Zeichnungen wirken real, sind nicht überzeichnet und geben dieser fantastischen Geschichte auf gelungene Art und Weise ein Gesicht. Aus meiner Sicht sind das die bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt besten Comics, die bisher unter Clive Barkers Namen veröffentlicht wurden.“ (Offizieller deutscher Clive Barker Fanclub "That's Clive„) “Was man aber mit Gewissheit sagen kann, ist dass Clive Barker's The Thief of Always ein Comic ist, der von Kris Oprisko (Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil) und Gabriel Hernandez (CVO: Artifact) eindrucksvoll erzählt wird."

Die Buchanmerkung erwähnt Werke von Clive Barker, Mary Higgins Clark und Umberto Eco und umfasst insgesamt 380 Seiten.

První kniha ze dvou. Imagika – tajemný řetězec světů, dominií, kterým pevnou rukou vládne nikým nespatřený Autarcha. Čas jeho vlády se však nachýlil, blíží se výročí Usmíření a s ním i doba neodvratných změn. Estabrook, muž, který najme vraha pro svou manželku, nevědomky rozehrává hru, jejíž následky si stěží dokáže představit kdokoliv v Usmířených dominiích. Existuje však neusmířené dominium, oddělené od ostatních a to představuje reálnou hrozbu pro všechny – naše Země. Magická partie moci a kouzel vrcholí a s ní i vypravěčské umění snad nejlepšího současného autora hororů.

Zbiór opowiadań grozy Clive'a Barkera to dla czytelników okazja, by na nowo odkryć prawdziwe znaczenie słowa strach. Wszystkie nasze ciała to księgi krwi: Gdy nas otworzyć, widać czerwień. Wydanie Ksiąg krwi z dnia na dzień uczyniło z Clive'a Barkera sensację literackiego świata. Błyskotliwy zbiór niepokojących, upiornie poruszających opowiadań dowodził mrocznego talentu porównywalnego z geniuszem Poego i de Sade'a. Stephen King nazwał Barkera, zdobywcę British Fantasy Award i World Fantasy Award, przyszłością horroru. W licznych bestsellerach i powieściach graficznych, a także kasowych filmach takich chociażby jak cykl Hellraiser, Clive Barker wypracował sobie własną, niepowtarzalną markę w świecie horroru.
