Summary: Captivating, gory, scary - yeah baby!!!!
Comment: I'm a big fan of Mr. Barker's (although sometimes I don't understand his images and dream sequences throughout his novels), and I ate this book up in one week (see the Razor-Eater for the pun). Great characters and a great story that kept you involved from the very beginning - I loved The Last European!!
I can't imagine how this would be turned into a movie - all the gore would have to be excised, but I'll go if it's done faithfully. I'd like to see Mr. Barker return to his horror roots and write something like Damnation Game, but if not...I could always re-read this one in a couple years.

Summary: Gut-wrenching, edge of your seat read...
Comment: I bought this book out of my love for great horror novels, based on the Clive Barker I know and love. Having finished Sacrament, I thirsted for a new horror from Barker...I got it. There are so many plot twists and horrific images that I never would have imagined. I couldn't put this book down from the very first chapter and still didn't want to at the end of the last. Barker presents his own "intellectual" horror, as I like to call it, and this book is such a great example of his work, that I heavily recommend it to ANY and ALL horror fans, and some who aren't. If I had to pick one word to describe it...ENCHANTING. Even as the most awful images are presented to you, you can't look away, and have to turn the page.

Summary: Terrifying, depressing, inspiring...
Comment: ...these are but a few of the words that come to mind when reading Clive Barker's horror epic The Damnation Game. The downward spiral and descent into the nether regions of existence. Paranoia, sex, violence, mutilation, death...all ideas and topics dealt with in this novel with grace and beauty. Barker has always had the ability to evoke empathy from his readers, you're repulsed because you relate. Granted, you may not eat razors, you may not have played a game of cards with a man capable of bringing the dead back to life, but the emotions and basic human feeling of the story ring true every time. We've all been ambitious, we've all done something we think we will live to regret, and that's the real heart of terror, the constant fear that the consequences of your former actions are just hanging right above your head. read with fascination, expand your horizons of horror fiction, and sleep tight...
