Okay, there was a reason for this. As much as I didn't like Clive Barker's fiction I've been reading on my handheld, when I ran out of books on CD to listen to in the car I saw this an HP Books in Dallas and thought it looked like a good short horro novel. I generally don't like listening to the Teaching Company lectures in the car for the same reasons adolescent boys prefer to look at National Geographics rather than have them read - I like to see the pictures, unless it's some literary or theological topic).
I just didn't care much for it. It was an imaginative story of a demon who gets into our world and ends up trapped in a book (and magnificently performed by Doug Bradley, by the way) but it got too convoluted to follow, and was rather disgusting in its descriptions at times (bit of blood and gore). Barker can describe a scene really well, but the story that the scenes hang onto is just not real interesting.
