Imajica: Featuring New Illustrations and an Appendix

Autor Clive Barker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2002
"Rich in plot twists, byzantine intrigues and hidden secrets,Imajicais a Chinese puzzle box constructed on a universal scale...Barker has an unparalleled talent for envisioning other worlds."  — Washington Post Book World
From master storyteller Clive Barker comes an epic tale of myth, magic, and forbidden passion
Imajicais an epic beyond compare: vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution. At its heart lies the sensualist and master art forger, Gentle, whose life unravels when he encounters Judith Odell, whose power to influence the destinies of men is vaster than she knows, and Pie 'oh' pah, an alien assassin who comes from a hidden dimension.
That dimension is one of five in the great system called Imajica. They are worlds that are utterly unlike our own, but are ruled, peopled, and haunted by species whose lives are intricately connected with ours. As Gentle, Judith, and Pie 'oh' pah travel the Imajica, they uncover a trail of crimes and intimate betrayals, leading them to a revelation so startling that it changes reality forever.
