Chickentown, Minnesota, is about a boring as a place can be--at least that is what teenaged Candy Quackenbush thinks. When confronted with a school assignment to learn about the town, however, Candy uncovers some interesting facts which lead her to a lighthouse on the outskirts of town. Before she really has time to think about why the landlocked town would have a lighthouse, though, she finds herself (and the lighthouse) whisked away to the land of Abarat, where magic rules and her best chance of survival is with an eight-headed con man who goes by the name of Mischief. This is the first volume of a projected quartet.

Daylight battles darkness in the most literal sense in film director Clive (HELLRAISER) Barker's sequel to his sorcery novel, ABARAT. Christopher Carrion, the Lord of Midnight, means to kill heroine Candy Quackenbush (formerly of Chickentown, Minnesota) and envelop the islands of Abarat in a Permanent Midnight. The Day-world and the Night-world will clash in the war between the Hours, and an otherworldly freak show of utterly bizarre characters, many of them delineated in over 100 full-color paintings by Barker, assist the apparently doomed Ms. Quackenbush in her travails. Barker's graphic descriptions of this strange land and its imaginatively appalling denizens augment the mayhem, and the vexing mysteries of Candy's identity and why she's beginning to remember odd details like how to make magic are revealed in the rousing conclusion.
