A great blend of dark fantasy and horror. Barker uses his warped imagination to tell an epic story.

I still can't decide if I actually liked the book. It is a very, VERY strange story, and I was intrigued and mystified by aspects of it. I recommend the book for those who want a strange journey into mystery and continuousness.
