Publisher's summary

On the borderland between this world and the world of Quiddity, the sea of our dreams, sits Everville. For years, it has lived in ignorance of the gleaming shore on which it lies. But its ignorance is not bliss. Opening the door between worlds, Clive Barker delivers his characters into the heart of the human mystery; into a place of revelation, where the forces that have shaped our past - and are ready to destroy our future - are at work.

©1994 Clive Barker Ink (P)2015 David N. Wilson

it turns into a gay porn

A small amount of romance in a book can be skipped, hetero or homosexual, but this book clouds the story with a very old man and a young boy that adds nothing to the story.

Another prefect narrator and author mix

Chet Williamson, also a horror author, narrated this Second Book of the Art the way he did the first one, The Great and Secret Show, masterfully. He has a seemingly elastic voice, and an incredible head for the sound he has assigned to each of many characters. He truly brings Barker’s epic world to life.

WOW!

Nearly returned book one, but chose to consider it a challenge. So glad I perservered. Amazing story. It's way out of my normal listening - took me at least 4 hrs, often rewinding, to get into it, but once I did, I literally listened every waking moment possible for 4 days (both books). The narrator is one of the best I've heard, & I'm picky. Mr. Barker has a fascinating & unique imagination and the ability to draw you into his story completely. His characters are diverse & complete, & so terribly...human. Even those who aren't. Eagerly awaiting book 3.

Long & Detailed

Hard to follow some times. Barker's imagination is infinite and difficult to fathom. 24 years and no 3rd book...

Baker's Dream Sea does not disappoint

The sequel to Everv illegal finds us reuniting with Grillo, Tess, Raul, Harry and even little Mave.

The story, even though long, flowed nicely. It helped to tie up loose ends and made for a great read !

Decent, but not for me

It was decent enough to listen to. Not my style of writing, but I didn't regret it.

Good Story Great Narrator

Good audio book. Narrator is wonderful. Story was good, no plot twist that was memorable, just a really good story. I would certainly recommend to a friend.
