Jovanka (Jen) Vuckovic: The Unholy Rebirth of Clive Barker

Awesome interview.
Weaveworld was an amazing story.
I really should read more of his literature.

oooh in the hills is my favourite story of his, the whole image of a giant made of men is so surreal.

he just recently released the second in the abarrat books-- the newest has like 100-some illustrations. i <3 clive barker.

THANK YOU!!! this article made my day..... zombiequeen rocks.....

Yay! This is a great interview... Thanks for the reprint. I think it's great that CB is returning to horror, but I disagree with those that deride his fantasy stuff... "Imajica" is one of my favorite books EVER and "The Great and Secret Show"/"Everville" are a fantastic story as well.

Think they'll make a movie out of "Buggage"?

Yaaay!

<3 Mr. Barker

Great interview and great bits of news.

Times like this make me wonder why I'm not a Rue Morgue subscriber?

wonderfully written and very entertaining interview! clive barker is the fucking man!

can i get this on tape?

Fantastic interview!

I've been a huge Barker fan for years and this is great news.

Thanks guys, glad you like it.

RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE

It's well worth it. I just subscribed to get a free copy of Bubba Hotep. The subscription only cost a couple more bucks than I would have spent on the dvd anyway. I thought the magazine would be redundant since there's all kinds of horror websites that have daily updates, but the magazine is great. I'm a little upset that I was to wait until march until the next issue. I'm sure they'll make it worth the wait.

what a wonderful article. im very excited now. midnight meat train is one of my favorite stories and im glad its being done first. even though its not horror, the thief of always has been my favorite book and im sad that it's not going to be made on film now. if they had problems visualizing what it should be i could do that in my sleep!
cold heart canyon is another one of my favorites...its a perfect ghost story and id love to see it made for the cinematography alone.
id love to see tortured souls as well. im sure it will be wonderful.
and boo to anyone who didn't love lord of illusions.
anyways great interview and now im really excited.

Beautiful interview.

Just another reason I'm glad I signed up to this site. I already listed a couple of my favorite books befroe I noticed this interview was here. Mr. Barker is truley my favorite author and am eagerly waitng for the tortured souls movie (I have the whole model collection), and am very interested to see the "Films of Blood". I admire Mr. Barker's imagination, integrity, and straightforwardness. I'll admit I was a bit homophobic up untill I found out that my favorite author was openly gay, which brought me to realize that it's not something you should ignorantly judge people by. By his actions, I realized that people with different prefrences are not different than me, just enjoy other lifestyles, which made me more accepting of different people.
Thank you for the excellent interview, good to see the master author return.
This guy is pure genius.

this article is over 2 years old...

yeah clive barker read all his books and have most of the hell raisers, books of blood movie like to see midnight meat train turned into a movie. allready saw raw head rex.
