The Damnation Game, by Clive Barker

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you're reading all of Barker's work start to finish, you HAVE to read this one. Otherwise, pick up anything that came before or after, but not this.
Review: Clive barker s first novel is nowhere near the league of his first short stories and novella The Hell-Bound Heart . I was over 100 pages into this book before anything happened.

At the end of World War II, thief Joseph Whitehead hears of a...

A Barker Book I Dig

Date of Review:  Sep 28, 2009
The Bottom Line: A modern day Faustian tale of sorts that's interesting, has engaging characters, and takes less than no time to read--definitely recommended!
