Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This offbeat novel in the form of a minor demon's diary may satisfy devoted Barker fans eager for his return to adult fiction after several years writing the Abarat series, but others, especially first-time readers, are likely to find this fable about good and evil less than rewarding. Jakabok Botch, the child of two demons who has inherited his father's two tails, is rendered even more grotesque after he tumbles into a fire and most of his face is badly burned. A violent dispute with his abusive father, Pappy Gatmuss, leads to the pair being trapped by a net from our world. Jakabok manages to elude capture and eventually finds his way to the home of Johannes Gutenberg, whose wife turns out to be an angel in disguise. The book's format—simultaneously Botch's first-person narrative and his break-the-fourth-wall address to the reader pleading for him or her to burn the book—may puzzle readers unused to Barker's quirks. (Oct. 30)

From AudioFile

Better known as Pinhead from the HELLRAISER films, Doug Bradley shines as the narrator of Clive Barker's new novel. Jakabok, a medieval demon plucked from Hell by a team of church-sanctioned bounty hunters, witnesses the atrocities done by men to men in the name of God, partakes in some of those atrocities himself, and ends up in 1438 Germany, on Johannes Gutenberg's doorstep. Pleading with the listener from the first line to ³burn this book,² Bradley takes to the narrative with alarming ease, embodying the wit, sarcasm, and utter loneliness of the demon's first-person account. With his acerbic tone, British accent, and excellent comedic timing, Bradley captures both the creepy charm with which this long silent demon tells his story and the deep resentment that runs in his sulfur-filled veins. Not for the faint of heart. A.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Burn This Book. Go on. Quickly, while there's still time.", Feb 2 2008

By	Ms. N. P. Dougan (Ravara, Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Mister B. Gone (Hardcover)

"Burn This Book. Go on. Quickly, while there's still time. Burn it. Don't look at another word. Did you hear me? Not. One. More. Word." Jakabok Botch
Trapped in the pages of this book is Jakabok Botch, A.K.A. Mister B, the most fearsome demon ever to be unleashed from the depths of Hell. He abandoned his mother, he killed his father, and he bathes in the blood of infants. So, read this book if you dare, but be careful, because Jakabok may be watching! As you turn every page, he is studying you. He is trying to access your mind, so that he can use you to escape from his papery prison. What's that noise you hear? It's not the wind or an old house creaking... It's Jakabok Botch, and he's coming to get you... Yeah, right! That's what Jakabok wants you to think. As demons go, he is a bit of an underachiever. He hasn't any scary, dark powers. He can't exhale fire, and he hasn't the strength of a thousand men. He's a bit of a bumbler really, and is a bit too lazy to think up some "grand scheme" to destroy the world. But who am I to tell you this? I could be a trickster, trying to lure you in by making light of Jakabok's awesome hellishness. The only way you'll ever find out is by reading the book... but remember, you've been warned!
I have never read a Clive Barker novel before (I know, and I call myself a horror fan!). I would certainly be a big fan of the movies to which he has contributed. I especially enjoyed Candyman and the Hellraiser series. The aforementioned movies are my only sample of the type of writer Barker is. Based on these movies, I was expecting a very dark, edgy book. Mister B. Gone is not what I expected, but I have to say that I was not in the least bit disappointed. This is especially true when other horror writers are churning out books with only one purpose, to be more shocking than the last. This novel is a refreshing change, as Mister B. Gone is blithesome and full of playful menace that fans of Tim Burton will appreciate.
The prelude to Mister B.Gone is one of the best I have read in years. The principal character, Jakabok Botch, tries his hardest to scare you. And in the opening pages of the book, he almost succeeds. But as you get to know him, you discover a demon who is inept and has not the slightest inclination nor the ambition to cause an apocalypse.
Jakobok Botch may not frighten you, but the whimsical style of the book will keep you reading to the very end. Barker's latest book is witty, subtle, and full of charm. In short, Mister B. Gone is a pleasure to read!

2.0 out of 5 stars RNO, Feb 2 2008

By	RNO (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mister B. Gone (Hardcover)

This was a bit of a dissapointment as I had thought that Clive Barker was returning to "adult fiction" a la The Great and Secret Show or even Cold Heart Canyon.
This novel however seemed more skewed towards younger readers, and the relationship between Mr. B and Quintoon kind of reminded me too much of Lestat and Louis of the Vampire Chronicles.
Oh well, perhaps I should have researched more before buying based on the author's name and past track record, I would have realized that I could have skipped this one.
