gidgmon Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Huge fan of his. I love The Great and Secret Show, but loved Everville even more. Wasn't there supposed to be a third book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timstar Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Don't know if there will be a third but I believe there is only two at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie P Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It's sometimes hard to pigeon hole Barkers writing style, so much is fantasy, dark fantasy and horror. If you are a horror fan, the "books of blood" are a must, a collection of truly spine chilling short stories. Fantasy, as has been already said - Weaveworld - absolutely awesome. Dark Fantasy - The Great and Secret Show is a real epic of this genre All his books are somewhat dark, but one of my favorites has to be "the thief of always" as a great introduction to Barker as it's pretty short compared with many of his others and as the "Great Grey Beast of February" is upon us a very seasonal read. I am a huge horror fan so will give the 'books of blood' a go but don't really fancy the fantasy side of his, that's not really my bag.
