A horrifying and spellbinding tale by the "great imaginer of our time"
(Quentin Tarantino) and New York Times bestselling author Clive Barker
about the magical world lying right beneath our feet.
In a home of an elderly woman in Liverpool lies a carpet.
Suzanna Parish is called to Liverpool after her grandmother has a
stroke. Cal Mooney is on the run from an escaped homing pigeon. Together
they find themselves accidently drawn into the strange world that lies
beneath the mysterious rug. Here, a race of magical beings have hidden
themselves from the normal world to escape human persecution and an evil
known as the Scourge. But two other evils, a ruthless witch and her
sidekick, seek the carpet for their own gain and will do whatever it
takes to find it. As the intricate weavings of the tapestry come undone,
Suzanna and Cal must face their biggest fears to save this discovered
land and all its inhabitants.
Brutal, beautiful, brilliant, and full of his original illustrations,
Clive Barker spins his best in this "unhinged and indulgent"
(Entertainment Weekly) imaginative tale.
