Synopsis
Mister B. Gone marks the long-awaited return of Clive Barker, the great master of the macabre, to the classic horror story. This bone-chilling novel, in which a medieval devil speaks directly to his reader—his tone murderous one moment, seductive the next—is a never-before-published memoir allegedly penned in the year 1438. The demon has embedded himself in the very words of this tale of terror, turning the book itself into a dangerous object, laced with menace only too ready to break free and exert its power.
A brilliant and truly unsettling tour de force of the supernatural, Mister B. Gone escorts the reader on an intimate and revelatory journey to uncover the shocking truth of the battle between Good and Evil.
Reviews
First of all, this book did not translate well into audio format. It was meant to be read, more so than any other book ever translated to audio. The only thing I can think of worse than translating this to audio would to narrate a Xanth book. Anyway, I didn't like the story for want of a plot. It was a clever idea, but the implementation was lacking. Maybe it will scare the more superstitious of us...
