Mister B. Gone

Autor Clive Barker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 oct 2008
“Think of a darker, more aggressive version of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. . . . Filled with wicked mischief and dark dares.”  — Kansas City Star
You hold in your hands not a book at all, but a terrifying embodiment of purest evil. Can you feel the electric tingle in your fingers as you are absorbed by the demon Jakabok's tale of his unintentional ascent from the depths of the Inferno? Do you sense the cold dread worming its way into your bloodstream, your sinews, the marrow of your bones as you read more deeply into his earthly education and unspeakable acts? The filth you now grasp has been waiting patiently for you for nearly six hundred years. And now, before you are completely in its thrall, you would do well to follow the foul creature's admonition and destroy this abomination of ink and paper before you turn a single leaf and are lost forever.
You have been warned.

Recenzii

“Mr. Barker is much more than a genre writer, and his extravagantly unconventional inventions are ingenious refractions of our common quest to experience and understand the mysterious world around us and the mysteries within ourselves.” — New York Times Book Review
“Think of a darker, more aggressive version of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. . . . Filled with wicked mischief and dark dares.”Kansas City Star
“A swift, spare novel that reminds us, once again, of the discipline and focus Barker can bring to shorter forms. . . . A subtle, surprising book. . . . Barker, who rarely does anything predictable, confounds expectations once again, giving us one of the most resonant, provocative novels of his career.” — Washington Post
“It’s about time for something nastier from the man Stephen King once called ‘the future of horror literature.’ . . . Filled with tongue-in-cheek depravity. . . . If you know what you’re getting into, Mister B. Gone is great fun.” — Rocky Mountain News
“A clever book. . . . Succeeds admirably. Because Barker remembers that everyone loves a measure of fright in their stories.” — Globe and Mail (Toronto)
