Imajica

by Clive Barker

Imajica Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From master storyteller Clive Barker comes an epic tale of myth, magic, and forbidden passion—complete with new illustrations and a new Appendix.

Imajica is an epic beyond compare: vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution. At its heart lies the sensualist and master art forger, Gentle, whose life unravels when he encounters Judith Odell, whose power to influence the destinies of men is vaster than she knows, and Pie 'oh' pah, an alien assassin who comes from a hidden dimension.

That dimension is one of five in the great system called Imajica. They are worlds that are utterly unlike our own, but are ruled, peopled, and haunted by species whose lives are intricately connected with ours. As Gentle, Judith, and Pie 'oh' pah travel the Imajica, they uncover a trail of crimes and intimate betrayals, leading them to a revelation so startling that it changes reality forever.

Review:

"Rich in plot twists, byzantine intrigues and hidden secrets, Imajica is a Chinese puzzle box constructed on a universal scale....Barker has an unparalleled talent for envisioning other worlds." Washington Post Book World

Review:

"Exhilarating....[A] masterpiece." USA Today

Review:

"Wonderfully entertaining....Clive Barker is a magician of the first order." New York Daily News

Review:

Review:

"A book in the picaresque tradition that moves with tidal force and power." William S. Burroughs

Synopsis:

The first trade paperback, one-volume edition of the author's best-selling science-fiction yarn presents a grand tale of myth, magic, and illicit sexuality on Earth and five parallel universes. Reissue.
