About this ebook
In the little town of Palomo Grove, two great armies are amassing; forces shaped from the hearts and souls of America.
In this New York Times bestseller, Barker unveils one of the most ambitious imaginative landscapes in modern fiction, creating a new vocabulary for the age-old battle between good and evil. Carrying its readers from the first stirring of consciousness to a vision of the end of the world, The Great and Secret Show is a breathtaking journey in the company of a master storyteller.

Very painful book to read. I started the Clive Barker experience on Imagica, which is a 10/10. This book literally had me wishing it ended well before it did. I didn't enjoy it and unfortunately cant say anything good about it.

Great start but dragged a little while getting all the pieces in place for the big finale. Don't think the end quite lived up to the build up though.

The Great and Secret Show, book one of The Art, is the best book you will ever read. When you finish reading it, pick up a copy of Everville, book 2 of The Art. Just incredible.
