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 best-seller, 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.

I love Clive Barker since I was a kid. Coming back to hear this was amazing. Bought Everville to read right after.

Great book.

I really love this book having read it many years ago and following up with Everville but this audio is very hard to listen to. I could only get through 3 chapters before I had to stop. The narrator doesn't fit well with the spirit and fantastical nature of Clive Barker's books. The voice is too harsh and severe

The narrator spoils the whole thing

Lovecraft, Casteneda, and King fermented in a brain pan swollen with imagination. Literate, scary, erotic and wonderfully grotesque. I’ve read nitpicking reviews that criticized the performance but I enjoyed every minute.

Underrated

The best part of this book was the narrator's eloquence. The story itself is full of plot holes and unlikable characters. Barker is an amazing horror author, a terrible fantasy author.

Fantastic narrator, terrible story
