Clive Barker: Difference between revisions

[[File:barker_4825.jpg|frame]]

Clive Barker is an openly gay British horror and dark fantasy author responsible for over a dozen novels, several movies, graphic novels, some artwork, and a couple of video games as well. His works almost always feature sexual overtones that are graphic, disturbing, and disgusting in nature. Stories usually involve [[Another Dimension]] or many dimensions, though the majority of the story is usually set in a contemporary urban setting. On the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]] his stories lie pretty far on the cynical side, with heavily flawed but sympathetic protagonists and an overall dark and gritty tone, though the endings to some of his novels have been [[Earn Your Happy Ending|happy and magically enchanting]], and features themes such as love and [[Heel Face Turn|redemption]].
