From Publishers Weekly

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. BOMC and QPB alternates; Harper Audio.

5.0étoiles sur 5 What's Next?, Mars 9 2004
Par Steve O "debcimino" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Everville (Paperback)
As a young reader i really enjoyed this book by Clive Barker. I learned about TG&SS last year from a student teacher. She told me to read it and gave me a copy of the book. When I finally got around to reading TG&SS i couldn't put it down. When i was finished i asked my mom to go out and buy the sequel "Everville". I didn't think it could get better but it did. Clive Barker is a true genius and these two books prove it. One thing has been bothering me however since i finished Everville. What's Next?? There has to be more. If anybody knows which book it is (if it exists...) please email me at pyromaniak690@hotmail.com. thank you.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Tour de Force, Jui 4 2003
Par kelsie (Plainview, Texas United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Everville (Paperback)
'Everville' could possibly be the best work Clive Barker has ever written. Although considered a sequel to 'The Great and Secret Show,' 'Everville' will stand on its own for most readers. TG&SS provides some important background material on, for example, the nature of the conflict between the inhabitants of Quiddity (the Dream Sea) and the humans here on Earth. The book overflows with Barker's imagery, and he presents vivid depictions of the Dream Sea and its otherworldly menace, the Iad Urobros. His characters are fleshed out in the extreme, and many rank with some of the most memorable in all of literature: The orphan-Maeve O'Connell, the religious skeptic-Harry D'Amour, and the unspeakably evil men vying for control of the portal to the Dream Sea above Everville, Kissoon and Tommy-Ray.

'Everville' tells the story of a cosmic battle taking place on Earth for control to a portal to the Dream Sea, Quiddity. This portal is open on a mountain peak above the sleepy Oregon city of Everville, founded by an orphan, Maeve O'Connell, and her husband from Quiddity, Coker Ammiano. The battle for control begins when the portal is opened, and takes place across the entire United States, from Everville to New York, as forces struggle to either close the portal, or keep it open, for unknown to humanity, an unspeakable evil is moving towards the Cosm (the area of the universe inhabited by humans), the Iad Urobros, described as "Chaos itself." Throughout its broad course, 'Everville' documents this struggle, and the multitude of people (there are over 50 principal characters) involved in it. Another tour-de-force from Clive Barker!

5.0étoiles sur 5 "Everville" stands alone without its prequel., Avril 10 2003
Par Rebekah Sue Harris (West Haven, CT USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Everville (Paperback)
Everville was founded by a little pioneer girl, Maeve O'Connell. I didn't realize until I was well into the book that "Everville" is a sequel to "The Great and Secret Show" (which I never finished, much to my chagrin).

The town of Everville houses the gateway between Cosm and Quiddity. The story jumps from Maeve's journey on the Oregon Trail to the 1990s and the town's current inhabitants. It takes not only a lot of pages but a skilled writer to keep all the characters (from both "The Great and Secret Show" and from the Everville township) straight; Barker does an admirable job.

Kirk Reinart's cover art ... was what drew me to this book. I don't remember the last time that happened.

What really struck me as I read was the parallel between Everville and some of the conspiracy theories I've recently heard. Does Barker know too much? or was he ahead of his time?
