By Clive Barker
Sacrament by Clive Barker digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“A weirdly absorbing and entertaining tale that offers more disturbing delights from one of our most inventive and risk-taking writers.” —Kirkus Reviews

Will Rabjohns, perhaps the most famous wildlife photographer in the world, has made his reputation chronicling the fates of endangered species. But after a terrible accident, Will is left in a coma. And in its depths, he revisits the wildernesses of his youth and relives his life with a mysterious couple who have influenced his life as an artist and a man.

When Will awakens, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery—one where he will penetrate the ultimate mystery and finally unlock the secret of his destiny.

Soaring, provocative and passionate, Sacrament is the book Clive Barker’s millions of readers knew he had to write someday: the troubling and passionate masterwork from the pen of one of today’s most acclaimed authors.

“Quietly contemplative and astounding in its sentiment, message and narrative language and I imagine it was quite the journey for Clive Barker to put it to page but it was overly long winded in places and the line between contemplative and long winded was blurd often.”
