Cabal
By Clive Barker

Cabal- as all Clive Barker fans would know- is the book that was the basis of the movie Nightbreed. What you wouldn’t know- if you stopped short of reading this, like I did until now- is that this is one classic tale spun by one of the masters. Clive takes a story that has some childlike curiosities and creates the perfect cocktail of horror and fantasy. The movie was good, the book is great. There are parts I re-read over- as the words were so inviting, I had to enjoy them at least twice. The book also includes short stories as well- including one other you may recognize as a movie available on cable and perhaps some video stores. Excellent read. It does have adult language and themes, so do take this into account.
