MISTER B. GONE Trailer

[EvilGeniousofRock]

jakabok came across as a nice and rather lovable character to me... does this mean somnething is wrong with me?

[ShizuneIsMaiWaifu]

i don't think this trailer really captured the spirit of the book or jakabok's character at all.

[Sean9561]

What's the song that's playing in the background?

[cosmonaut1100]

AWESOME book, definitely one of my favs

[TheMafiarose]

iv jest started reading it and its freaking awsome! its so weird thou theres even times i want to answer him lol

[TheScheiss]

I've started to read it, but so far, I don't think it is scary at all.

Hope it gets better as I keep going.

[xgustavoex]

@TheScheiss Clive doesnt pretend to be scary in this one.... i felt it more like a black humour! :P if you wanna get scared read The Damnation Game. Oh hell , that book is dark! I love barker!

[helalicious614]

i dont have to say how freaking awesome this book is,,but if you havent read it,,go find it you will be in awe of clive barker,,this book kinda made me believe that hell is real and the demons walk amoung us side by side it put my hairs on end of every page i turned while mr.b was telling me to burn the book and not to read any more of his horror story

[tjonahue]

seriously, this needs a movie adaptation...soon.

[krymsinthe]

i read this book liiike 5 times, its an awesome, awesome, awesome book.. its like actually talkin to me O.O great job, clive barker!

[xXTarepandaXx]

Jakabok wasn't really blood thirsty or evil to me. He liked to bathe in baby's blood and all but he never came off as malevolent to me, even when he made his threats. He has the worst luck and he's scarred everywhere but he's so charming to me, I fell in love with the book, Jakabok and his two tails. :3

[ChocolateyChocobo13]

i think this book was actually really funny.

"i was thinking of buying a goat"

"what for"

"milk. cheese. company"

great book, hilarious at times. creepy at others. devlish through out.

[pastulio007]

I loved the book n.n

[PeterRoeder31]

This looks pretty cool.

[royboi1978]

Is that Christopher Plummer?

[iBringTheMusic]

Does anyone know where I can read this online?

[Necronomiconer]

I have only read three books by Clive Barker: The Hellbound Heart, The Thief of Always and Mister B Gone. I really enjoyed reading Mister B because when i downloaded the audiobook none other than Doug Bradley aka Pinhead was the narrator and just the fact that the first sentence of the book says "Burn this book.". I give it a 9/10 rating because i love spooky stories plus parts of it were graphic. =)

[Necronomiconer]

HP Lovecraft = Grandfather of Horror

Richard Matheson = Father of Horror

Stephen King = King of Horror

Clive Barker = Prince of Horror

[jrulz254]

@Necronomiconer edgar allan poe = God of Macabre

[Necronomiconer]

@jrulz254 dante alighieri - god of heaven and hell

[jrulz254]

@Necronomiconer if you like these try reading shane hutson (the guy is crazy) and christopher pike

ps cant find dante alighieri in india

[Corbin007]

@Necronomiconer As much as I agree with you on this list, you cannot forget Edgar Allan Poe as the CREATOR!!! lol

[Necronomiconer]

@Corbin007 i highly agree with u there, i think (fictional) literature as we see it now dates all the way back to before Dante to Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Homer and Vergil, without them we wouldnt have had a Poe, Tolstoy, Austen, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Lovecraft, Burroughs, Salinger, Orwell and so many others.

btw people may think what they want to about me but The Divine Comedy....i think that really did happen =)

[WyrmvaterGlaurung]

love the book, especially the demon- decoy at the beginning

[MDFMKisKMFDM]

First Clive Barker book I've enjoyed in a long while - although I have to agree with some others comments not really very scary

[hippygirlLfencer]

omg this looks so gd i want to read the book even if it does mean being possed and going crazy (even though i am crazy so it can't do much damage)

[moonfaye00]

For the record, I read it from cover to cover, and although I did experience a few moments of unease, nothing life altering/soul shattering transpired . . . Yet.

[ballek7]

DONT READ IT PEOPLE i think this demon possessed me some creepy shit happens to me everynight i should've burnt the damn book GOD HELP ME

[sn4k3g3r]

@ballek7 buhaha xD you're crazy... this book is so great I read it and nothing happened...

[TheSkelwor]

@ballek7 You still alive?

Good. If you're being haunted, it's not him. Or any kind of demon. It's Chaos, not darkness. The book was written for entertainment purposes, it's not possessed.

[ballek7]

@TheSkelwor yes but i wish I was dead dude im serious some creepy shit happens to me at night I live by myself and sometimes i have to get out of the house exactly at 3 a m because thats when stuff happens to me. I talked to a priest and he told me its possible that its a demon but he also said it could be all in my head for believing that there is a demon in this book i dont know what it is but I need help.

[TheSkelwor]

@ballek7 If you want help, I'm the one to come to.

But let's not fill the comments with this.

If you're willing to accept help, send me a message.

[LikeABladeYouSting]

I love this book so much, but it's not that scary

This video is more scarier

[P199628]

I wanted to buy one of H.P. Lovecraft's book (The Call of Chutulu and Other Weird Things) but I was short of money so I just bought this. LOL.

[TheColdest]

This trailer is more scary than the book is, imo.

[ninfan1989]

#1 scariest horror book no pun intended towards stephen king

[blueberry0505]

VERRY GOOD book i recomend it to thrill loving readers!!!

[rss22]

I started to read this book, I suppose I read about 10 or so pages, then I had to return the book, it freaked me out. I did feel that the demon was speaking right to me, I didn't like that.

[zombivamp]

@rss22 should have burned it... lol.

[sindjinn6662]

Who else but Doug Bradley!PIN HEAD!

[perdedoronline]

oh ok. thanx.

[976blackpope]

fantastic. this is amazing. mr b gone is a book worth its weight in gold. brilliant. doug bradly did the narration on audio book version of this book as well. its highly worth picking up. a must for fans of this book. thank you for posting this video.

[ptu33]

ahh that eye is freaking me out

[perdedoronline]

Who is the narrator of this trailer?

[perdedoronline]

Where is this trailer from?

[jaylias]

this book is BRILLIANT!!!!! I know i'll end up reading it again soon ;). 5/5 *****

[perdedoronline]

i'm reading it right now and there aren't any chapters in it so far.

[summers93]

I love Clive Barker, but this is his worst book ever...

[ThePirateCrystalRae]

Indeed this book is another classic by Clive. I love this book it's one of those reads that once you start it pulls you in and won't let you go to you finish....no matter how many times it warns you to stop.

[OwnNewWay]

I started reading The Great and Secret Show, that's what it's doing to me.

[blacksmith84]

awesome book. now im glad Mr. B's dad beat the shit out of him every day, dude is a complete hellraiser and thats where he belongs

[3baxcb]

Jakabok may be a hellraiser but his Pappy G. was a real bastard and got a fitting end (helpless as he decended to his death.

I can now see the image on the front as being a portrait of Jakabok, burned, scarred face. I can't see Pappy Gatmus other than some toad faced atrocity...probably a fitting image for such a bullying father.

[Andaverde]

dude i love this book it makes you uneasy it really seems like its talking to you the first night i thought it called me by my first name but wow they should turn all of his books into movies i know they might suck but still id love to see it happen ^_^

[WhatIAm99]

Out of curiosity, did anyone actually burn the book!?

[bloodymonkey13]

umm i may after im done reading

[smacko8]

If anyone knows where i can find a Pdf ersion of this book plz send a privte msg

[Transcendence42]

[[Right, then! Feel adventurous and scholarly? Then try your luck with my wall of text as responding to the book and people's reactions. I'm just including this note to remind you that all of my comments, which are likely ordered below this, were posted in order of when I typed them, so please read in the order of: 'the last to the first,' else it might get a bit too confusing for the both of us.

Thanks.] :)

[Transcendence42]

I even went so far as to imagine that, as the storyteller speaks of physically coming closer to you with each page you turn, once I reached the end, I liked to think that I might have just enough time to relate that, for what it was worth, I wanted them to be almost ridiculously happy, for they deserved it more than a thousand times over.

[Transcendence42]

and thus seems to have a surprisingly large number of dimensions which can't be written off. I found myself wanting to respond very badly to the teller of the story, and relate that I bloody well cared so much for them, that I didn't give the end result of finishing the book a second thought, whether the threat was real or not. ..You see? A wall of text into this comment, and I was [am still am] thinking of it as real.

[Transcendence42]

It is incredibly real: it can be unpredictable, unresolved, imperfect, and can swing in its own directions, just like a person's life. If we opened this book expecting pure horror, and found none, then it's a terrible waste—It's not simply another horror novel. Stimulating fear may be an art, but it is a focus on a single emotion. This book includes the incredible tangle of feelings we must face in our own lives,

[Transcendence42]

Maybe it is because a number of the people who picked up this book might have thought 'Clive Barker: horror novels,' and expected a good horror story to give us chills up our spines.. This seems to me more like a person than a book, and we can't simply have an idea of how this book should be, and when we find it is not, become frustrated that it doesn't conform to our standards.

[Transcendence42]

I don't quite understand the detached, negative criticisms that are all I've found, addressing this book. Maybe I'm being naively sentimental, but they sound unimaginably foolish to me. [..Should we always read through the lens of our skepticism? Is that the only way we may comfortably get through the book: to distancing ourselves with criticisms which constantly stimulate reminders of the barrier between reality, and the threat of our deaths, if we read till the end?]

[Transcendence42]

Moments ago, I finished this book, and am rarely to never stirred enough to search for other's personal responses to novels, but here I am. This is likely because this doesn't even seem so much a novel to me, as an appeal by someone who has lived an unimaginably terrible life. Someone who has attempted to deny their compassion so as to not be broken by the world, but really has too much of it.

[karavilas]

love clive

[llaces]

LOL the stupid book was about a fucken printing press what a waste of time

[portersthumb]

I just read this book and...HEY...it sucks. Upon finishing it I wished I was 14 when I read it...so that I might have been impressionable enough to find any of it's attempts at horror convincing.
