About this listen

Clive Barker has made his mark on modern fiction by exposing all that is surreal and magical in the ordinary world - and exploring the profound and overwhelming terror that results. With its volatile mix of the fantastical and the contemporary, the everyday and the otherworldly, Weaveworld is an epic work of dark fantasy and horror - a tour de force from one of today's most forceful and imaginative artists.

Super enjoyable. Got through it much faster than I expected because once it got going I was listening to it any free moment I had. Already I wish it wasn't over.
Barker writes fantasy with equal finesse to his horror works. Only once did it give me pause to remember his horror writing.
The voice actor was successfully dynamic and enjoyable to listen to.

Nostalgia for a world as familiar as it is foreign

Great story, very immersive and well written. Fantastic narration although some attempts at voicing characters didn't fit the character portrayed (mainly Appeline)

This was the first Clive Barker novel I ever read but it wasn't the last.

Rereading this tale as an audible book has not lost it's splender, it's only added to it. Now being able to sit back , listen and enjoy rather than read is akin to being a passenger. Thereby, watching world's between world's and in world's unfold before you. Able to devour every bit of Clive Barker's imagination and description without losing a heart beat. Amazing!

As usual Simon Vance is terrific. He has a real mastery of characters and narration. His ability to narrate tales ranging from Sci Fi, fantasy, mystery, crime, as well as Dickens, Stoker and of course Clive Barker (and more!) is truly remarkable.

If this is your first Clive Barker book, I can assure you, it won't be your last! ;)

Amazing Again! :D

This is a book I've attempted to read baby times, mainly because I'm a big Clive Barker fan and because I've read so many good reviews of it. I find myself frustrated at the page of the novel with interminable time given over to the goings on of Cal, the main protagonist, who is mainly a disinteresting character who doesn't do much to propel the story. There are many great characters that dip in and out driving the story forward, seemingly against the sheer will of Cal! Simon Vance was fantastic as always, but the story only gets 3 stars.

Slow to get really going then it's over!
