Out of the Ruins

“[Clive Barker] is a mapmaker of the mind, charting the farthest reaches of the imagination.” —Washington Post From The Books of Blood to Hellraiser to Imajica, Abarat, and Mister B. Gone, Clive Barker’s extraordinary vision knows no bounds. With Coldheart Canyon, the New York Times bestselling master of dark fantasy who has been called “a cross between Stephen King and Gabriel Garcia Marquez” (Boston Herald) thrills readers with a “Hollywood ghost story” as audacious and chilling as anything he (or anyone else) has ever written. Film's most popular action hero needs a place to heal after surgery that has gone terribly wrong. His fiercely loyal agent finds him just such a place in a luxurious, forgotten mansion high in the Hollywood Hills. But the original owner of the mansion was a beautiful woman devoted to pleasure at any cost, and the terrible legacy of her deed has not yet died. There are ghosts and monsters haunting Coldheart Canyon, where nothing is forbidden. USA Today calls Barker's novel, “Endlessly entertaining…wickedly enjoyable,” and fans everywhere will agree—a tense and winding trip down into the hellish depths of Coldheart Canyon is well worth making.

Coldheart Canyon

“Think of a darker, more aggressive version of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. . . . Filled with wicked mischief and dark dares.” — Kansas City Star From Clive Barker, the great master of horror and the macabre, comes a brilliant and truly unsettling tour de force of the supernatural—a terrifying work that escorts the reader on an intimate and revelatory journey to uncover the shocking truth of the battle between Good and Evil. “Burn this book!” So warns Jakerbok, the spellbinding narrator of this fabulously original “memoir,” a tale of good and evil deliberately “lost” for nearly six hundred years. Jakerbok is no ordinary soul; he is a minion of hell with a terrifying plan to cast the world into darkness and despair—a plan thwarted by a young apprentice of Johannes Gutenberg who buried the one and only copy of this damnable manuscript that his master printed in 1438. Compelling and direct, Jakerbok shares the secrets of his life, going back centuries to recall the events that shaped his childhood, including the traumas he suffered at the hands of his parents, super demons themselves. He explains how he rose from “minor” to “major” demon status, and gleefully reveals his nefarious plot to “invade” the minds and hearts of unwitting humans everywhere thanks to the ingenious Gutenberg and his invention. “Burn this book!” he advises throughout—a taunt, a warning, and a command that will actually unleash the evil with which he has hidden in every word and every page, infusing the very ink and paper upon which they are printed. Inventive and irresistible, Mister B. Good reaffirms Clive Barker is one of our most brilliant and original voices, an artist with a keen insight into mysteries deep within the human heart.

SHINING IN THE DARK

A VECES, LOS SUEÑOS NO SON COMO UNO ESPERA Chickentown es el lugar más aburrido de Estados Unidos, y allí vive Candy Quackenbush, que se pregunta qué será de su futuro. Alberga en su corazón la esperanza de irse lejos de allí y vivir aventuras emocionantes, pero cuando su deseo se cumple no resulta como ella esperaba. ¡Bienvenidos a Abarat!, un extenso archipiélago donde en cada isla es una hora diferente. Candy debe salvar a Abarat de las fuerzas oscuras que amenazan con destruirlo, fuerzas más antiguas que el mismísimo tiempo y más perversas de lo que jamás hubiera imaginado. Candy es una heroína atípica y lo sabe, pero Abarat es un mundo especial donde todo es posible. Una maravillosa mezcla de ficción y terror. "Una mezcla entre Alicia en el País de las Maravillas y El león, la bruja y el armario." ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "Te mantiene fácilmente enganchado a sus páginas." THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE "El autor más imaginativo y macabro, y, aunque parezca imposible, cada vez lo hace mejor." KANSAS CITY STAR "Clive Barker es un mago de primer orden." NEW YORK DAILY NEW "Por encima de todo, este libro es un catálogo de elementos extraños. Islas con forma de cabeza, polillas gigantes hechas de un colorido éter, palabras que se convierten en naves, monstruos con tentáculos que bailan como si fuera un carnaval, un homenaje a lo estrambótico." THE GUARDIAN "Un autor con una imaginación desbordante." ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION "Una lectura fantástica, con la medida perfecta de suspense y humor." CHICAGO TRIBUNE "Barker sabe cómo hacer que sus lectores pasen miedo." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Abarat es una creación intrigante y merece ser comparado con Oz. Barker utiliza el poder de lo fantasmagórico, en un mundo regido por la lógica de los sueños..." KIRKUS REVIEWS "Barker se imbuye de la fantasía tradicional y le añade un extravagante toque del País de las Maravillas, mediante la creación de personajes extravagantes, un paisaje fabuloso y una mitología coherente." ALA BOOKLIST "Abarat es una historia que cautivará la imaginación de los lectores, ofreciéndoles un paisaje sin límites que visitar y volver a visitar una y otra vez." OUTSMART "Inteligente, y madre mía, qué espeluznante." PEOPLE

La hora más oscura está cada vez más cerca… Candy Quackenbush continúa su viaje por el mundo fantástico y feroz de Abarat: un archipiélago donde en cada isla es una hora distinta del día, el eterno teatro de una lucha sin tregua entre luz y oscuridad. Antiguos presagios empujan a Candy a surcar las aguas del mar de Izabella: todo indica que se acerca una tormenta. Mater Motley está obsesionada con convertirse en la emperatriz de las Islas y, para alcanzar su objetivo, urde un plan simple y diabólico: oscurece los cielos, cubriendo soles, lunas y estrellas, y despierta de los rincones más remotos del archipiélago a unos monstruosos aliados dispuestos a luchar a su lado en la batalla. Tinieblas implacables se ciernen sobre Abarat: la Medianoche Absoluta acaba de empezar y solo Candy tiene el poder para detenerla. "He visto el futuro del terror y su nombre es Clive Barker." Stephen King "Abarat es una creación intrigante y merece ser comparado con Oz. Barker utiliza el poder de lo fantasmagórico, en un mundo regido por la lógica de los sueños." Kirkus Reviews "Clive Barker es la gran mente creativa de nuestro tiempo." Quentin Tarantino "Te mantiene fácilmente enganchado a sus páginas." The New York Times Magazine

Medianoche absoluta

Los sueños pueden convertirse en pesadillas. Candy está en el archipiélago de Abarat, huyendo de isla en isla para que no la atrapen los asesinos enviados por Carrion, el Señor de la Medianoche, que conspira para que caiga sobre Abarat la oscuridad más absoluta. Por suerte, Candy ha comenzado a desarrollar asombrosos poderes mágicos y, junto a sus compañeros, la joven emprende una aventura donde tendrá que tomar decisiones que alterarán la vida de todos los que la rodean, justo cuando la batalla entre luz y oscuridad está a punto de comenzar. "Te mantiene enganchado a sus páginas con mucha facilidad." The New York Times Magazine "Una segunda entrega impresionante que revela su verdadera identidad en el asombroso clímax de la novela." Jennifer Hubert
