       Praise

      ‘Even in greater in size and scope than Weaveworld … erotic, apocalyptic, often horrifying, Imajica is beautifully written, a marvellous feat of the imagination.’

       City News

      ‘An invocation of both magic and the imagination, a novel of eerie and erotic enchantment. In Imajica we witness the finest use of the dialect of horror and fantasy: the pursuit of possibilities. Imajica is an existential-romantic quest, a speculation on the nature of woman and man, goddess and god, reality and dream. A majestic maze of mythmaking, a fiction that questions all assumptions of its reality - and our own.’

       Washington Times

      ‘Barker’s prodigious imagination delivers magicians, dopplegangers, Boschean creatures of staggeringly various descriptions and a pantheon of gods and goddess, seduced by power and redeemed by love in a story of violence, occasional unconventional eroticism and mesmerising invention.’
