From master storyteller Clive Barker comes an epic tale of myth, magic, and forbidden passion
Imajica is 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.
Clive Barker is the bestselling author of twenty-two books, including the New York Times bestsellers Abarat; Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War; the Hellraiser and Candyman series, and The Thief of Always. He is also an acclaimed painter, film producer, and director. He lives in Southern California.

@EM_Writing Hahaha. It's the perfect book for this prompt! I figured Clive Barker wouldn't be too upset for not including the only other book I've read in this genre (Imajica) and supporting indie authors instead
Father, writer, scientist, teller of dad jokes. The guy that wrote that book you read that time.
Clive Barker does not really need introduction. He is shockingly creative. His #horror is yes, dense and takes a while to read but damn, it delivers. Even his not as scary stuff...delivers. My first edition of Imajica shown here. #Fiction #CoverArt https://t.co/knYzRnGJzb
