Clive Barker on fan films, HELLRAISER: PROPHECY and Abarat 3

Book signing in NYC on 01 Nov 2007. This was my meet&greet for "Mister B. Gone" with Clive Barker, where he gives me some advice on Hellraiser fan films, remarks on HELLRAISER: PROPHECY (2006) and mentions that "Abarat 3" and "Abarat 4" will likely precede "The Scarlet Gospels." In it, he does a quick sketch of Pinhead. (Sorry about the audio, didn't clean it, just wanted to get it posted as quickly as possible... May post a clearer version later on...)

I have only read Weaveworld and the Thief of Always. He is such a creative guy, and his fantasy epics are huge. Do you think Imajica or Great and Secret Show owuld be good reads in the future?

[jonathankui]

I cannot strongly enough recommend Imajica (specifically) and the Great and Secret Show... I think that you will love them, they're certainly my two favorites in his series. I'd certainly attach Coldheart Canyon to my list as well... :) Enjoy!

[OwnNewWay]

I have Everville. Is it ok to read it as a standalone or should I read The Great and Secret Show first??

[jonathankui]

DEFinitely read TGASS first... :)

[KrissSith]

That was a great video, look how effortlessly he draws that picture, the man is a legend.

i've only ever read 'Mister b gone' by him,

i really want to read his other work.

where should i start?

[jonathankui]

I'd recommend starting with The Great and Secret Show or Weaveworld... Then, if you're in the mood for an epic, I'd try his greatest work, Imajica. And then for something different, I'd finish off with Coldheart Canyon... :) Good luck!

THIS is an author who appreciates his fans. He's drawing personal sketches, giving film making advice, getting to know a bit about his fan's background. What a fucking awesome guy.

[burmiester1]

Wow. He is an inspiration to writers everywhere, or at least he should be. You know how many writers would remember you, call you, draw you a picture, and have an intimate conversation with you??? Not many! Clive sounds so amazingly nice. I would love to meet him.

[MrRemorseless]

He actually drew you a picture? That's fucking awesome! What an amazing person!

Clive Barker is true to himself as a human being and as a multi-talented artist, he is just BEYOND AWESOME, he loves his fans and has a genuine love and affection for them, he is a true inspiration to all, and yes, as the fan says in the film, it would be an HONOUR to meet Clive, this man is totally unique and is a torch of beauty in the ugly darkness of existence...
