Book Description

6 Aug 2009 Voyager Classics

On the borderland between this world and the world of Quiddity, the sea of our dreams, sits Everville. For years it has lived in ignorance of the gleaming shore on which it lies. But its ignorance is not bliss.

On a mountain peak, high above the city of Everville, a door stands open onto the shores of the dream-sea Quiddity. And there’s not a soul below who’ll not be changed by that fact… Phoboe Cobb, once a doctor’s receptionist, is about to forget her old life and go looking for her lost lover Joe Flicker in the strange, sensual wonderland on the other side of that door. Tesla Bombeck, who knows what horrors lurk on the far side of Quiddity, must solve the mysteries of the city’s past if she is to keep those horrors from crossing the threshold. Harry D’Amour, who has traced the ultimate evil across America, will find it conjuring atrocities in the sunlit streets of Everville.

From the Back Cover

Welcome to Everville…

On a mountain high above the city, a door stands open onto the shores of another world, and there's not a soul below who'll not be changed by that fact.

Phoebe Cobb is about to leave her old life as a doctor's receptionist and go looking for her lost lover in the dream-seas of that world…

Tesla Bombeck, who knows what horrors lurk on the other side of that door, must solve the mysteries of the city's past if she is to keep the horrors from crossing the threshold…

And Harry D'Amour, who has tracked the ultimate evil across America, will find it conjuring atrocities in the sunlit streets of Everville…

'One of modern fiction's premier metaphysicians'
Publisher's Weekly

'Clive Barker is so good that I am literally tongue-tied'

4.0 out of 5 stars The Second Book of the Art 29 April 2007
By Jane Aland VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
'Everville' is a direct sequel to 'The Great and Secret Show' and as such if you enjoyed that book then you will find plenty here to get your teeth into. While an excellent novel it is perhaps not quite as stunning as the previous volume as, perhaps inevitably, the sequel route of 'more of the same' means there is less nto suprise the reader: once again the novel deals with an attempt by a magician to harness the mysterious power of 'the Art', while evil shaman Kissoon attempts to call forth the nightmarish Iad Uroborus from beyond the dream-sea of Quiddity to invade our world, and a small American town becomes the site of an apocalytpic battle. Practically all of the major characters from 'The Great and Secret Show' return (including some who seemingly died at the end of that novel), but Barker does introduce a new couple - Phoebe Cobb and her lover Joe Flicker to provide the emotional core of the novel: interestingly having spend the majority of the previous novel detailing the trials and ultimate triumph of lovers Howard and Jo-Beth, Barker callously disposes of the couple in a virtual cameo to repeat this emotional journey with this new pair. Still, despite a certain familiarity this time round 'Everville' does move the grand narrative forward, and crucially providing a background story for series 'bad guy' Kissoon.

The novel's main weakness is the fact that this is the second book in an unfinished trilogy, and as such will inevitably leave the reader somewhat frustrated, as plots are set in motion for the final, and thus far unpublished Third Book of the Art. As far as the journey goes, both 'The Great and Secret Show' and 'Everville' are enjoyable reads, but it will be up to the prospective reader as to whether they wish to invest the time and energy on a story with, as yet, no ending: at the time of writing it is fully 13 years since this book was published and the chances of Barker finally getting round to writing the concluding volume (especially considering the number of other unfinished sequels and ongoing multimedia projects he has 'on the go') are looking increasingly slim...

I found this book kept me riveted throughout. the many plot twists and surprise events made the spectacular writing of Clive Barker alive with freshness and vitality that some of the best writers put foward. the many vivid characters that Barker created, such as Tesla Bombeck, a self-made woman, add a whole new dimension to horror/mystery writing. Tesla's wit and inner beauty make you genuinely feel for the problems Tesla faces. Overall, I found this book to be one of my all-time favorites. -Keith Jacobson

3.0 out of 5 stars not quite an art form 11 May 2013
By tel
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed the first book of this - currently - unfinished journey, but did not find myself as involved with this second novel, finding the characterisation less interesting and some of the plot elements almost half-assed. Also, having spent much of the previous novel fleshing out two supposedly main characters, Barker then kills them off seemingly for the Hell of it, just so the reader can supposedly give a damn about the new introduced struggling-to-understand characters. I wonder if he, Barker, had his heart in the work, and also if it will ever be finished - or if there is enough idea to finish it.

...Not neccesarily. This is an extremely good book, but it isn't quite as good as the first one. Also, the ending did little to bring the story to a close. Read more
