Clive Barker is een meester in de hedendaagse horror en fantasy, die niet bang is om diepgaande concepten van realiteit, de geest en dromen te verkennen. Zijn vroege carrière richtte zich op huiveringwekkende korte verhalen en faustiaanse romans, waarna zijn werk evolueerde naar moderne fantasy doordrenkt met horrorkenmerken die de kracht van woorden en herinneringen onderzoeken. Barker is ook een productief beeldend kunstenaar die vaak zijn eigen boeken illustreert, en hij heeft aanzienlijke bijdragen geleverd aan de filmwereld als zowel regisseur als scenarioschrijver. Zijn onderscheidende stem en gedurfde verbeeldingskracht maken hem tot een werkelijk unieke literaire kracht.
