feels like pandering to the lowest common denominator of Barker fandom. Books like the Great and Secret Show and Imajica added to my own personal mythology and lifted me up beyond the mundane world to an almost spiritual high. At his best, Barker achieved transcendent story telling and rose beyond genre. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
They get distracting and don't contribute much to the story. Lee works too hard at differentiating characters with heavy handed accents and speech style affectations. What three words best describe John Lee’s voice? He's rarely disappointed me, but this book is one of the exceptions to the rule. I've read pretty much everything he's ever written from short stories to the longest novels. I enjoy horror and fantasy, always have always will. Has The Scarlet Gospels turned you off from other books in this genre? Beyond that, Barker completionists, of which I'm one, may tolerate it but are unlikely to really enjoy it. Readers who enjoy depictions of gore for gore's sake might like it. This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?įolks obsessed with the Hellraiser comic series and films would enjoy the Scarlet Gospells.
