AlbakiReads Editorial

A borderland town at the threshold of Quiddity

Everville continues the dark-fantasy world introduced in The Great and Secret Show, placing its central town on the boundary between ordinary reality and Quiddity, described here as the sea of human dreams. The book builds its conflict around a newly opened passage between those realms and the dangers released with it. Questions of mystery, revelation, and the forces shaping humanity’s past run alongside an explicit struggle between good and evil. With Everville itself long unaware of the other world at its edge, the novel frames discovery not as safety but as an exposure to larger, destructive powers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show
  • Readers seeking horror blended with dark fantasy and dream-world mythology
  • Adult readers interested in conflicts between otherworldly forces and human history

Book overview

"Our most accomplished contemporary purveyor of horror fiction strikes again in Everville, a tale of worlds in conflict. . . . [Barker's] 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

From master storyteller and New York Times bestselling author Clive Barker comes the spectacular sequel to his masterpiece of dark fantasy, The Great and Secret Show, that reveals once again the age-old battle between good and evil.

On the borderland between this world and the world of Quiddity, the sea of our dreams, sits Everville. For years it has lived in ignorance of the gleaming shore on which it lies. But its ignorance is not bliss. Opening the door between worlds, Clive Barker delivers his characters into the heart of the human mystery; into a place of revelation, where the forces which have shaped our past--and are ready to destroy our future--are at work.
