Publisher's summary

Clive Barker has made his mark on modern fiction by exposing all that is surreal and magical in the ordinary world - and exploring the profound and overwhelming terror that results. With its volatile mix of the fantastical and the contemporary, the everyday and the otherworldly, Weaveworld is an epic work of dark fantasy and horror - a tour de force from one of today's most forceful and imaginative artists.

Okay

I loved the actual writing - the vocabulary and language - and the narration was excellent, but the story just rambled on way too much. I felt little connection to the characters.

Amazing story read superbly

Just finished it and even with several unread books in my library awaiting my attention I really just want to start this one again.
The writing is captivating, the story drew me in so completely, and Simon Vance's delivery is flawless.

Before Neverwhere ?

A magic journey into wonderland. This story ends where Neverwhere begins. And it was wonderfully read by Simon Vance.

lots of content

I felt like there was a lot of world building jammed into this, along with multiple "false ends". I thought the book was going to end at least 3 times but there was hours left to listen to. I am sure this kind of tale is good for some people but not for me. seemed well done and fleshed out and well performed, just way too much content for me. I won't read it again or think about it but glad it is over.

Honestly…I enjoyed it

Definitely more fantasy than horror, but I definitely enjoyed the story in all. Narrator did a spectacular job as well. Yes the story is a little lengthy…but I didn’t mind. Definitely my cup of tea!

Ah, but what price Wonderland?

One of my favorites! Raw and dark fantasy from Clive Barker. A great story and wonderful narration by Mr. Simon Vance. Maybe not as polished as some of Barker's other works, but a grand modern fairytale nonetheless. Epic in scale and weight.

Weaveworld

Clive Barker at his best.
Owning both hard copy, ebook, and audio of Weaveworld.
I must admit to getting totally lost in the audiobook.
