Clive Barker: Difference between revisions

=== Tropes featured in [[Clive Barker]]'s body of work include: ===

 

* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Indeed, in the second novel of ''Abarat,'' it seems that Barker can only keep a certain number of characters alive at any given point, so for every new character introduced, another is cleanly hacked away.

* [[Author Filibuster]] - In ''[[Abarat (Literature)|Abarat]]: Days of Magic, Nights of War,'' [[Jerkass|John Serpent]] provokes the [[Straight Gay|apparently gay Two-Toed Tom]] into giving a rant about why he is just a man who loves his partner and no one should make any sort of a big deal about that. (Not to mention dousing [[Multiple Head Case|Serpent and his conjoined brothers]] with water.)

* [[The Blank]] - The Engineer in ''The Hellbound Heart''.

* [[Blood Bath]] - Mister B. Gone, the demonic [[Villain Protagonist]] from the story of the same name, bathes in a tub full of blood from dead babies. He complains of how difficult it is to keep them alive long enough so the bath would be warm when he empties their blood into the tub.
