Think of a darker, more aggressive version of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. . . . Filled with wicked mischief and dark dares. -- Kansas City Star
From Clive Barker, the great master of horror and the macabre, comes a brilliant and truly unsettling supernatural thriller--a terrifying work that escorts the reader on an intimate and revelatory journey to uncover the shocking truth of the battle between Good and Evil.
Burn this book!
So warns Jakerbok, the spellbinding demon narrator of this fabulously original memoir, a tale of good and evil deliberately lost for nearly six hundred years. Jakerbok is no ordinary soul; he is a minion of hell with a terrifying plan to cast the world into darkness and despair--a plan thwarted by a young apprentice of Johannes Gutenberg who buried the one and only copy of this damnable manuscript that his master printed in 1438.
Compelling and direct, Jakerbok shares the secrets of his life, going back centuries to recall the events that shaped his childhood, including the traumas he suffered at the hands of his parents, super demons themselves. He explains how he rose from minor to major demon status, and gleefully reveals his nefarious plot--a cornerstone of this unique historical fantasy--to invade the minds and hearts of unwitting humans everywhere thanks to the ingenious Gutenberg and his invention. Burn this book! he advises throughout--a taunt, a warning, and a command that will actually unleash the evil with which he has hidden in every word and every page, infusing the very ink and paper upon which they are printed.
Inventive and irresistible, Mister B. Good reaffirms Clive Barker is one of our most brilliant and original voices, an artist with a keen insight into mysteries deep within the human heart.
