Seller's Description:
None. Near Fine in Very Good Indeed jacket. A first edition first issue file copy of Clive Barker's dark fantasy novel. This first edition of prominent horror and fantasy icon Clive Barker's 'Weaveworld' is the file copy from June Hall Literary Agency, the novel telling the story of a magical world hidden inside a tapestry with dark supernatural forces attempting to destroy it. 'Weaveworld' was nominated for the 1998 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and was critically acclaimed, praised for the terrifying and miraculous storytelling. Clive Barker has written many novels and short stories, with some of his most well known works, including the 'Hellraiser' and 'Candyman' series, being adapted into films. First edition. Very scarce file copy, with 'File Copy' inscribed and June Hall Literary Agency stamped to the first and second front free end papers respectively. With dustwrapper. An exploration of the magical and monstrous, 'Weaveworld' showcases Clive Barker's work at its most fantastical, terrifying, and humorous. In the publisher's original hardback binding, with unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, very smart, with gilt stamped decoration to the cloth spine, and some shelfwear to the head and tail of the spine. The dustwrapper has some age-toning to the folds, and some shelfwear to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Near Fine.
Barker tells a story about magic, the hidden world that is right in front of us. Or as in this case, hidden in a carpet. Ancient people that had almost got eradicated by something that resembles the God of Abraham.
This story blends the everyday life with the mystery of ancient magic. Demons, witches, deities and such, but also the story of human growth, and love, in the normal reality as we all know. This is not one of those horror books by Barker, this is more of an realistic fantasy, a dreamy drama of life.
