Product Description:


On the borderland between this world and the world of Quiddity, the sea of our dreams, sits Everville.For years it has lived in ignorance of the gleaming shore on which it lies. But its ignorance is not bliss. Opening the door between worlds, Clive Barker delivers his characters into the heart of the human mystery; into a place of revelation, where the forces which have shaped our past--and are ready to destroy our future--are at work.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Worthy Follow-Up
Nice, but kinda looses focus towards the end. It's almost as if he was worn out and ready to move on to something else. But then again, in saying that, I'm more than ready to read the 3rd (and hopefully final) book if and when it ever comes out.

As an avid reader, I appreciate the attention to detail and unique storytelling Mr. Barker gives us with each and every effort. His stories are so beautifully written, painfully, almost shamefully honest in exposing those well hidden good / ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Super Reader
Didn't really enjoy this at all, compared to the other Barker books. This is pretty much when I stopped reading him, in general. A quite disappointing book after the other work I had enjoyed reading in the past. Hard to put the figure on quite why, but it could well be that there are just not enough monsters.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Everville: The Second Book Of The Art
If you're at all interested in the world of comparative mythology and it's connection to psychoanalysis, or even the world of fantasy and the occult, you'll love this book. More than anything it's relentlessly engaging. At several turns it's romantic, horroriffic, erotic, mystifying, etc. A story that delves into the idea of a world beyond worlds. A story of dream and fantasy. I guarantee it's well worth the read. Best of all, this book stands on its own...meaning you don't have to read the first ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The third book to the series
I love Clive Barker and I am getting ready to go pick up his second book Everville. I just saw a question on here about the third book and thought I would give everyone a heads up.

It appears the third book is not out yet and will not neccessarily be out any time soon. Please see the following link for his reasoning for this http://www.clivebarker.dial.pipex.com/newbooksb.html

In a nutshell he says that the last book will be a monster and that it takes time to prepare to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Well, it's Clive Barker... What more can you ask for?
I never intended to review this book, partly because tons of people have done it already, and partly because this was a book I read on my "leisure time", that is, time when I wasn't reading review copies that different publishers had sent me.

But hey, it's Clive Barker, and I since he's the greatest author alive today I figured I at least had to say a word or two about Everville.

Just read it. It's that simple. You'll understand and appreciate it a whole lot more if you first ... Read More
