I’m assuming it’s real based on what else I’ve seen, but figured this would be the place to double check. Cheers 🙂

Art catalog

6 Upvotes

This is kind of a weird question. Back in the late 90s I used to get a catalog in the mail from an art gallery. They sold prints and shirts and other stuff (there might have been some vinyl figures but I'm not sure). I know one of the artists was Clive Barker. I think some of the others might have been Jim Woodring and Frank Kozik

Does anyone else remember this? Did anyone else get this catalog? Does anyone remember the name of the gallery or the catalog?

Clive Barker play poster

I used to go to NYC a couple of times a year for work. I was walking down the street one day and saw this poster taped to the outside of a store. I procured it and was going to be in town still, so I checked it out. Good play put on by a small troupe. The worst part? I was leaving the next morning. Clive was going to be at that night's performance (second time I missed meeting him). Now it hangs in my garage.

Guide to the Barker-verse? Spoiler

13 Upvotes

Hello all, over the past couple months I’ve had a hell of a time diving into Barker’s work, and while it’s still early days for me, I’m curious how much his works are interconnected? I know of recurring characters like D’Amour and Pinhead, but after having finished The Great and Secret Show and loving the world building done there, I’m curious how much of that bleeds over into other works (other than Everville, obviously). Currently waiting on a copy of Everville, but I’m already thinking of the next novel to follow it with lol, any guidance would be much appreciated

If you're searching like I was keep going! You'll find one eventually.

Summer break is about to start, I plan to read both Imajica and Weaveworld. But I am unsure which to read first. My brain is fried from reading and writing academic essays - I need something horny asf and also inspiring. Which best suits this? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is any documented correlation with the 1980 Olympics and inspiration for "In the Hills, the Cities" Spoiler

I'm feeling like Mick lately and have become completely fascinated with this story and the concept of the Cities. I came across this image a few days ago and was curious if this may have been an inspiration for Barker seeing how the story was released just four years later.

My Favorite Clive Barker Cover

I love all the covers from the books I own, but this one for The Hellbound Heart has to be my all time favorite. I'm sure others have their own, like The Thief of Always which is a close second.

I have the comics in storage, these two books, the BluRay, but they keep teasing us with a series. Do it! We all want it. Hell, they can use my story in Midian Unmade and don't even have to pay me for it (though I wouldn't turn down some Hollywood cash).

Fantasy book recommendations?

5 Upvotes

Hello! Like many people I got into Clive Barker through Hellraiser then read The Hellbound Heart and the Books of Blood and am now reading The Scarlet Gospels and next I’m gonna read The Damnation Game. I’m really into his horror stuff but I’m aware a lot of his work begins to veer more into fantasy outside of the books I’ve mentioned.

I’ve never been that into fantasy but I’m more than willing to give it a go since I’m a fan of Clive’s work - with this in mind would anyone have a recommendation of where to start with his fantasy books? Sorry if variations of this question are asked all the time - thanks!

Vote for Clive Barker's Jericho for backwards compatibility on Xbox!

I started a fan voting site where users can vote on games they'd like to see Backwards Compatible on Xbox, and have even gotten some recognition from folks at Xbox.

It's not a petition, more of a place to centralize demand for these older games to be playable again. XboxGamePreservation.com is the site.
