Literally ghost fucking. It was epic for a short book.I think I started reading it but never finished, I vaguely remember parts of what I'm reading on wikipedia. I gotta admit it's been over 10 years since I read any Barker, I had a run of reading his books as well as Stephen King's and James Herbert's back when I was still probably a teenager. I've got a bunch of people to read The Great and Secret Show though, that one is very memorable.
Not Cabal short read but really really good.
King sat on a panel doing ad lib horror pretty much walked off when Clive started. His imagination is absolutely incredible.
