WEAVEWORLD is an epic adventure of the imagination. It begins with a carpet in which a world of rapture and enchantment is hiding; a world which comes to life, alerting the dark forces and beginning a desperate battle to preserve the last vestiges of magic which Humankind still has access to. WEAVEWORLD is a book of visions and horrors, a story of quest, titanic struggles, of love and of hope. It is a triumph of imagination and storytelling, an adventure, a nightmare, a promise

Praise for this book

"A powerful and fascinating writer with a brilliant imagination. Weaveworld reveals Clive Barker as an outstanding storyteller." - J G Ballard

"All that you expect from Clive Barker and more - terrifying, shocking, audaciously imaginative, moving and ruthlessly unputdownable." - Ramsey Campbell

"Weaveworld will be a guide for everyone who travels there in the future. I think it'll probably be imitated for the next decade or so, as lesser talents try to crack its code and tame its insights." - Peter Straub
