I'm currently reading #ColdheartCanyon by #CliveBarker. I was reading in bed last night when I got to the bit where Dempsey dies. I was bawling my eyes out and desperately wanted to give my own dog a hug, but I didn't want to wake him and Husbando up. 😭

Many hugs and pets ensued this morning.

Our numbered days

Here is a list of fearful things:
The jaws of sharks, a vulture’s wings,
The rabid bite of the dog’s of war,
The voice of one who went before.
But most of all the mirror’s gaze,
which counts us out our numbered days.

~ Clive Barker

💀 Clive Barker è uno di quegli autori che mi ha sempre intimorito. Ho affrontato finalmente la sua prima raccolta di racconti e sono rimasta estasiata. Venite a scoprire quali storie matte ho amato di più.

Revu 'Cabal ' de Clive Barker. j'en avais un vague souvenir de videoclub. J'ai choisi de regarder la version director's cut proposé sur le coffret blu-ray. Je suis mitigé. Ca reste pour moi un film super bancale. Il ya pourtant des éléments vraiment super : le vieux cimetière, les monstres, le masque du tueur etc... même l'intrigue est plutôt sympa. Alors j'ai appris qu'il existait une ultimate director's cut ! fabriqué à partir de rushs retrouvés... ca nous donne quelque chose comme 3H de film. bon, ok, mais pas pour tout de suite ! #clivebarker #cabal #nightbreed #horrormovie

Do any #CliveBarker fans out there have a copy of the Playscripts edition of "The History of the Devil"? Looking for the date of the first performance in September 1980, which I believe (from https://www.dlsreviews.com/the-history-of-the-devil.php) will be mentioned in it.

Readings, March/April 2026
March and April of 2026 were a little rough for reading. The ol' work schedule is basically flat-out insane, and a lot of my spare time goes into translation work, so the fact that our son's back in school again has helped less than I thought it might. (We lost a teacher at work and, well, nob

Found old Clive lurking in this 1985 copy of a BFS newsletter! I really like The Damnation Game, enjoyed it almost as much as The Hellbound Heart. It has that same mix of lean, dynamic prose style and unflinching commitment to dreamland
