Book summary

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.

Media reviews

"Barker gets big points for Candy, an unusually natural and winning heroine."
