NEW CLIVE BARKER BOOK! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm thrilled to announce a new forthcoming book by Clive Barker: THE PAINTER, THE CREATURE, AND THE FATHER OF LIES. Edited by Phil and Sarah Stokes, who operate the official Clive Barker website at www.clivebarker.info, this is the definitive collection of Barker's nonfiction work over the past 25 years, including previously unpublished material, such as an unused self-penned introduction to Volume 1 of the BOOKS OF BLOOD from 1983 written from the point of view of a demon interviewing Barker. Approximately 100 separate nonfiction pieces are collected, and Barker has provided new interior illustrations. This landmark collection will be released early next year in signed lettered, signed numbered, and unsigned trade hardcover states. Like THE HELLBOUND HEART, I expect the signed copies to go quickly, so if you're interested, please reserve (without prepayment) now. For more details, please visit the Earthling site: Link to THE PAINTER... Michael Marshall Smith's THE SERVANTS is published ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Published last week, and copies look beautiful. All individual orders have now shipped; specialty bookseller orders are currently shipping; orders to chain stores, libraries, Amazon etc will be fulfilled last. "THE SERVANTS is an absolute delight of a book... mysterious, poignant, and tender. Highly recommended." -Charles DeLint, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction "This moving parable delivers strong psychological insights into a child's powerlessness and anger. B+" -Entertainment Weekly Link to THE SERVANTS THE HELLBOUND HEART cover art now posted ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The stunning new painting by Clive Barker that graces the front cover of THE HELLBOUND HEART: 20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION.
