Has anyone heard anything about Scarlet Gospels? A publication date?

I've been waiting for The Scarlet Gospels for years!

I absolutley love weaveworld (hope for a movie one day) and the books of blood. I didn't think Mister B Gone was that bad either,just purley fun.

sorry to say , i was a youngster when Cabal was butchered on Screen and then briefly ressurected as a comic series . i didnt read it until 5 years ago and was very amazing . really wish they made it the way it was written tho it would be pure justice. HAVE abarat 1 , have yet to open it (first edition) and the TORTURED SOULS (toyline series 1) which incidentally included a story about the 6 characters in each figure.

love the TS story, love Cabal , so i know ill fall in love with the Abarat legacy.

anyone else have the TS figures ? or the spawn Clive barker series ?

He's a really talented guy, but I run hot and cold with his work. The Hellbound Heart is a great read, as are many of the Books of Blood, but then again, Mister B. Gone? I think he has a tendency to get a bit to flowery with his prose. Anyone else notice that his favorite word is "din?"

 

[tzarinna]

I've never noticed the "din" thing.


For those that live in Ireland.

I love Clive Barker! My favourite read was Imajica...its kinda dangerous though read it and was kinda lost for about 6 weeks- his writing can do that to the unprepared mind!

 

[SyntheticHeart]

Hellraiser series...the best

Publication of Abarat 3 is now scheduled for 27 September 2011, available in hardback at £15.43 / $24.99 and as a Kindle edition at £11.34 / $16.66. Abarat : Absolute Midnight may be black in sentiment but more glorious days will follow - Clive is already busy writing Book Four - The Dynasty Of Dreamers - and a gold-covered Book Five - Abarat : The Eternal

Clive Barker's New York Times bestselling fantasy series returns with the long-awaited third book in the acclaimed ABARAT series -- ABARAT: ABSOLUTE MIDNIGHT...

 

[THANOSRULES]

I loved the Nightbreed Movie, I didnt know about the differences in the book.

But to me, Nightbreed was something i had never seen before, a twist on all your sense of stereotypes and morality...and in the end a twistedly original superhero movie.

I should check out Cabal

Finally got it in the mail. Can't wait to read it.

the only thing I have read by Clive Barker is "The Hellbound Heart", and that was purely because it is the book that Hellraiser was based on. -- Great book by the way. Well written and very engaging.
I like his imagination and his movies like The Candyman.

Give The Damnation Game and his Books of Blood series a try.

 

[tzarinna]

I second that.

Hellbound Chronicles - Hellraiser Web Comic Trailer

 

[Batman jr.]

When I was mostly reading fiction (until 3-4 years ago) I checked out many of his books.

Being the Stephen King fan that I still more or less am, I enjoyed them from the start: Barker is EXTREMElY brutal, not as detailed as King, but easily my second favourite horror writer.

Clive's 22 January comment on his health:
Dear Friends, I've had some medical issues that have recently forced me away from my beloved desk and into the hospital... But do not worry... I will be home soon and back to causing trouble! My apologies for being off the radar!
All of my love,
Clive XOXO
