Book Description
================
Horror's wunderkind returns with a spectacular sequel to his masterpiece 
of dark fantasy, The Great and Secret Show. As before, the saga of how 
our world commingles with the dream-sea world of Quiddity-and the wondrous, 
sometimes malevolent lands and beings that lie beyond its shores-provides 
the British author with a vast canvas on which he paints a riot of Boschean 
images. So complex are Barker's imaginings-from a celestial hierarchy 
that toys with human affairs; a geometry in which a pyramidic city can 
balance on its tip-that readers new to his cosmos could use a glossary 
or map that, alas, the publishers do not provide. Still, most will be 
swept away by his marvels, begining with the horrific decimation of 
a party of Old West pioneers by an interloper from the parallel world 
of Quiddity. Grotesqueries, dazzlements and titanic battles between 
humans and nonhumans abound as, in the present, several men, women and 
creatures, many returning from the prequel, are caught up in the attempt 
by two corrupt men to attain the "Art," the power by which they can 
manipulate time and space. Meanwhile, the Iad, a sentient force of immense 
destructiveness, breaks into our world on a mountaintop above the town 
of Everville, Oreg. But for all his facility at apocalyptic wonders, 
Barker's greatest strength remains his grasp on the yearnings of the 
heart and spirit. At times profoundly moving as flawed heroes and heroines 
martyr themselves to love or goodness, this novel confirms the author's 
position not only as one of horror's most potent and fertile minds but 
also as one of modern fiction's premier metaphysicians.
