Stephen King called Clive Barker "the future of the horror genre" and we all know how that panned out. That ought to tell you all you need to know about both of these authors. In this ridiculous tome, "Bloodthirsty demon Jakabok has traveled from the depths of hell to grab hold of your imagination." Seriously, thats the best you got? A tired and cookie-cutter demon story with a dumb-ass name? I liked, I think, one of Barker's books and that's all. This one just sounds dumb.
