No less boundary-crossing and boundary-pushing than the fantastique oeuvre of its subject matter, Sorcha Ni Fhlainn's edited collection ranges superbly across Clive Barker's dark fiction, films, fandom, theme park experiences, action figures, and 'anti-horror'. It is unafraid to provoke critical debate, alert to established ways of reading Barker, and sometimes even wary of the entrapping danger of a celebratory blurb or endorsement. But have no fear, because I have seen the future of scholarly work on Clive Barker. and its name is Dark Imaginer. -- Professor Matt Hills, author of Fan Cultures and The Pleasures of Horror -- .
