Synopsis

The astonishing new novel from bestselling author Clive BarkerMister B. Gone marks the long-awaited return of Clive Barker, the great master of the macabre, to the classic horror story. This bone-chilling novel, in which a medieval devil speaks directly to the reader, claims to be a never-before-published demonic memoir penned in the year 1438. The sole copy was, so the story goes, created by the inventor of the printing press, Johannes Gutenberg himself. But this historic piece of writing immediately vanished without a trace.Until now...A demon known as Jakabok has embedded his very self inside each word of this meticulously printed tale of autobiographical terror. The reader is taunted and teased by his pleas for release from the confines of the very ink and paper that provide the vehicle for his life story. Little do they know, the depths of horror they hold in their hands. Reader beware, indeed, as Jakabok (aka Mister B.) escorts you on an unforgettable journey into the ultimate origins of good and evil.

First of all, this book did not translate well into audio format. It was meant to be read, more so than any other book ever translated to audio. The only thing I can think of worse than translating this to audio would to narrate a Xanth book. Anyway, I didn't like the story for want of a plot. It was a clever idea, but the implementation was lacking. Maybe it will scare the more superstitious of us...
