The astonishing new novel from bestselling author Clive Barker Mister B. Gone marks the long-awaited return of Clive Barker, the great master of the macabre, to the classic horror story. This bone-chilling novel, in which a medieval devil speaks directly to the reader, claims to be a never-before-published demonic memoir penned in the year 1438. The sole copy was, so the story goes, created by the inventor of the printing press, Johannes Gutenberg himself. But this historic piece of writing immediately vanished without a trace. Until now... A demon known as Jakabok has embedded his very self inside each word of this meticulously printed tale of autobiographical terror. The reader is taunted and teased by his pleas for release from the confines of the very ink and paper that provide the vehicle for his life story. Little do they know, the depths of horror they hold in their hands. Reader beware, indeed, as Jakabok (aka Mister B.) escorts you on an unforgettable journey into the ultimate origins of good and evil.

Introduced me to Clive Barker's writing, and it's amazing. The concept of the demon in the book was fresh and new to me, constantly engaging me as the reader, horrifyingly at times. Very accessible book and not at one point did I find myself bored. Seriously, BUY THIS BOOK. (I had to, you'll get it when you read it)

I Liked This Book
I liked this book, despite Jakabok Botch?s annoying and tedious begging to burn this book and set me free, although it is essential to the entire story. To fight off this constant begging, a story is expected to be told to the all too demanding reader. Jakabok obliges with his life?s story in hell as a young demon who doesn?t fit in and how he got his disfiguring beginnings. Interrupted by his pleas for release, his story continues on with his horrific and demonic misadventures in the realm of the living, with Quitoon, and angels too, for over a century. Poor Mister B.?s narrative finally ends not only with your hair-raising end, but also with a creepy final word about words.
