He’s not just a great horror writer- he’s one of the best writers alive today. Such an amazing imagination and ability to craft images through the written word.

I was lucky to meet Clive Barker back in 1997 in Philadelphia at a playing of Hellraiser! He signed my book, and was a great guy!

Clive knows what hes talking about.respect.great artist.

He's a very good horror writer. It's a shame that he does not get the recognition that he deserves. Well, at least we have Books of Blood coming to Hulu this October in the form of an anthology series.

I've always thought Clive Barker would be a great name for a dog.

I LOVE his voice. He got the kind of voice I'd like to soothe me to sleep.

Professional imaginer

Terrific interview. Barker has an amazing mind and the interviewer really pushed without getting intrusive.

Weaveworld is so great. It makes me feel to be a part of the story the whole time. Thanks for the Interview, a reader from germany.

Imajica, the great and secret show, everville, coldheart canyon . . .some of the best (and most underrated) fiction of the modern era. Also some extremely brilliant youth fiction - the abarat and the thief of always. He is truly an imaginer for our age.

He has one of the greatest quotes, he is a Brilliant Writer! ❤

What a beautiful soul! Absolutely inspirational interview.

Clive Barker is my favorite author. I got turned on to him by a blurb Stephen King said in the mid 80's. I had a large CB collection, many signed first editions & all of his Marvel/Epic comics from the early 90's, & multiple magazines featuring him. I also had all of his films on DVD with the first Hellraiser signed by Doug Bradley! I lost my collection due to my drug addiction, but I'm sober now so I look forward to building my collection back up.

I’m not a fan of horror, however there’s two horror filmmakers I’ve somehow fallen in love with like I haven’t since I was young kid watching Kubrick… Tobe Hooper and now Clive Barker. Something about their first works I saw from them - Chainsaw 74 and Hellraiser- grabbed me and made me go What the Fuck in the best ways possible. Then discovering their personalities and character and insights off screen, made me fall in love with them and their work. I can’t say I know what it is. Great artists.

"If it's not broken, don't fix it." Clive doesn't need to change a thing.

What an absolutely great interview

I think one of the most immersive books I ever read was Imajica.

My most favorite author of all time!! #AllTheBarker 🖤🖤🖤

Everything I find he has done is fascinating even things in a style that I would normally not find to be interesting or entertaining or thought-provoking at all. He has a way of really connecting with.... No, his art has a way of making any person interacting with it then finding themselves very deeply connecting with it.

Hope my dream comes true for a Second Jericho Video game :'D

Holy shiz I don't remember him this sexy!😉

I’m a big fan of the Hellraiser series and the film Lord of Illusions, so I’ve decided to start reading Books of Blood. Really interesting work. Mr. Barker is a very fascinating man. I would love to meet him someday.

He has the most peculiar interesting voice I love to listen to it when he reads his own stuff

Amazing guy!!

Such a handsome intellectual.

He is a strangely good writer - and strangely hasn't gotten proper recognition. Sure among a circle of people, and sure he's made money, but the proper literary recognition a lot of other writers had gotten within their lifetimes. He reminds me of the new Lord Dunsany

Good interview

and his sister's, favorite movie was, saw What you like says alot about you and it also says alot about the type of people you are most likely to attract

Genius

the master

A brilliant writer. Great cigar too.

This guy is fucking awesome!!

He’s got a great, satisfying voice

Blessed with a great imagination, cursed with horrid adaptations

I've read Books of Blood, and several of his other novels. Quite an imagination. Very bizarre. I've always found his writings to be amusing and entertaining.

The Great and Secret Show blew my mind

What a strange accent he has. Truly transatlantic. I've only just come across this interview but I'm beginning to think Henry Cavill took some inspiration from Barker's accent for Geralt in The Witcher.

Love his films. Just watched lord of illusions.

I have seen the future of horror is name is Clive Barker. -Steven King .Nuff Said

"I'm going to a mansion"

this is a great interview.

What ever happened to him? I was only a child when I first heard of him through my dad's bookshelf. Everville and Imajica were the two he had. Now at 33, I have read and re-read many of his works all throughout my life. As an artist you want to reach and touch as many people as possible, and to do that for 27 years to someone. True artist

Great writer❤

When he was younger

Fascinating Scouse / Transatlantic accent...

Ciao adoro le tue opere... grazie per la giacca..

To me Clive barker is a god he reminded me that horror nerds and writers are really for everyone I am amazed at how many barker books I really own.

The mad mix of a scouse/American accent

I've never read his books but I saw his box

Clive barker is my fucking hero!!!

Stephen King and Clive Barker are the ultimate masters of Horror

Yo he is good looking.I didn't know.

Friend first, boss second. Probably imaginer third.

I would love to work with Clive on a project, once my writing career takes off.

What book was he five weeks away from publishing here ?

Are any of his other movies similar to hellraiser?

I like the imagination to read Clive Barker books. I love his ideas though.

Barkers cool as fuck here

Ahahahahaha! "Making movies, after death." ROFL

It was always you Clive, it was always you. - I am actually a bit of a fan. I liked Candyman when I was younger. It scared the shit out of me. And I got down to reading the first three volumes of the Books of Blood. My favorite story is the one in the rural town. With the giant made up of people.

How did he lost his voice?

Never imagined what his voice would sound like but it wasn't that lol

Does The Crow exist in the same realm of Hellraiser?

He went from nerdy to hunky. Like two different men.

Clive look kinda buff, like his books!

You are Venal Antatomica!

Just watched an interview where his voice was much lighter and less heavy and raspy. Was he sick in this interview?

He looks very different nowadays.

Was this the 90s? Something is clearly wrong with his voice here.

I’m getting the impression Garth Marenghi was a mocking caricature of Barker.

What accent does he have?

The man has influence from either demons, angels, or God Himself. Maybe or three!

He is from Liverpool but he doesnt sound Scouse, no?

You opened the gateway to Hell? I come to visit you!

Jesus wept.

What the hell happened? His voice, his accent, the right side of his face, his demeanor, etc. are all so different. Did he take all the drugs? Did he have a stroke?

I thought Hellraiser was Shite tbh. His only real half Scary movie was Candyman (1992) the rest forgettable imo.

Evil dark side is dead

All evil and hell is dead

The most stupid book (Mr. B. gone) I've ever read was written by this guy. Complete waste of time.
