Imajica

Clive Barker

AS MYSTERIOUS AS THE FACE OF GOD,

AS SECRET AS THE HUMAN SOUL

The Imajica – five Dominions, four reconciled, and one, the Earth, cut off from them, her inhabitants living in ignorance on the edge of a sea of possibilities, an ocean of mystery and magic. Only a few know of the Imajica, and many of them are frightened, for a shining mystical moment is approaching, a time when the Earth can be reunited with the other four Dominions – a time of Reconciliation

Racing to capture that moment are three memorable characters: Gentle, a master forger whose own life is a series of lies, Judith Odell, a beautiful woman desired by three powerful men, but belonging to none of them, and Pie’oh’pah, a mysterious assassin who deals in love as well as death. Together they embark on an epic journey through all five Dominions to the very border of the greatest mystery of all: the First Dominion, on the other side of which lies the Holy City of the Unbeheld, where their greatest hopes, or their deepest fears, will be realized.

‘The tears and blood and nightmare imagery are passionate and ingenious. Imajica is a ride with remarkable views’

Times Literary Supplement

‘Barker’s fecundity of invention is beyond praise. In a world of hard-hitting horror and originality, Clive Barker dislocates your mind’

Mail on Sunday

‘An astonishing feat of the imagination, immensely engrossing, running riot with ideas, fantastical inventions, soul-terrors and emotional and intellectual resonances. Barker’s best yet’
