Thanks for posting that! I've never collected any non-English Barker books but it's very nice to see them!
I have a few other things I should post in here as well.

Thanks for posting that! I've never collected any non-English Barker books but it's very nice to see them!

Look on the copyright page Bob. There's a credit for the cover model. Perhaps Peter was simply mistaken.
I think that Barker took the picture but the guy behind the mask is supposed to be his friend/life partner. There is a nude photograph of Barker in the book on the back of the limitation...
Yes Peter Atkins was most certainly involved at Stealth; especially on that particular book.
I love how I spend my life trying to collect Barker items and Bob is like, oh wait, I have something buried in my closet... and it's something I've been looking for. :cry:
You're like the swami...
I don't care about the off-topic, it is kind of relevant anyway! Plus I love Bob's collecting stories!
That's a great story thanks Bob!! I've never had any dealings with Autrey myself; so sorry to hear that he took advantage of you like that.
Book III of the Abarat Quartet (Abarat: Absolute Midnight) will be published in September. Unsure as to the status of B.E. Trice's limited edition to match the previous two though. The cover art for...
While I'm here, I'll post a couple of pics of Barker's return to "horror" Mister B. Gone. The story of a possessed book told in the first person by the demon who has possessed it. A very quick read...
The B.E. Trice limited edition of Coldheart Canyon, Clive Barker's scathing and shocking novel about old time Hollywood.

Thanks for the story Justin, that's awesome! '96 couldn't have been Galilee as that wasn't published until '98. Did you mean Sacrament?
Here are some pics of the Trice Limited of Coldheart Canyon....
All over it Eric! :) I wrote and asked if I could pre-order the lettered edition and he said no. :lol:
One of my favorite Clive Barker books, and one of the nicer Signed/Limiteds put out by Harper/Collins.

I'll post the S/L Imajica when I get home. Clive's done three signings in NYC that I've been to. One at Forbidden Planet in '87, one in Cooper Square Barnes & Noble in '93 I believe, but I could be...
Awesome Bob! Thanks so much!
I've read about the bound galleys from Phil Stokes (who runs Clive's website) but haven't seen one. Very cool!
The Playbills are really nifty as well, I love to see...
The second "Book of The Art" and an indirect sequel to The Great and Secret Show, Everville picks up after the events of that book and continues the mythology of "The Art."
Published...
Now we've come to what perhaps is Clive Barker's most famous creation: Hellraiser.
The story behind Hellraiser began as a novella written for the Night Visions anthology series. Titled The...
Awesome! I'm totally looking forward to it! Thanks Bob.
Now we arrive at my single favorite Clive Barker book, The Great and Secret Show. It is very difficult to accurately describe this "First Book of the Art" in general terms. It is a massive story,...
If you remember back a few posts, I mentioned that volume VI of the Books of Blood wasn't published in the U.S. at the same time as IV and V, but rather held back until later.
Clive wrote a short...
