Long Synopsis:

"Clive Barker: a modern mythmaker, 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 biography, made possible by unprecedented access to Barker and his closest friends and family, offers readers insight into Barker's own story: his Liverpool childhood and adolescence; his forays into the world of theatre, mime and direction; his 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."--BOOK JACKET.
