About this listen

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.

©1987 Clive Barker, Ink (P)2014 David N. Wilson Dark Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Mind-bending Scary Paranormal

Simon Vance read everything else in this audio book brilliantly so well done. However, as a born and bred Scouser I have to say his Liverpool accent is dreadful and as such spoilt the audio book for me. I had read the novel many years ago and truly believe it should have been a movie. But I'm afraid Simon would never get the lead. Sorry mate!

Terrible scouse accent

Fabulous book and very well read. Well worth a try. Clive Barker has a way with words and an awesome imagination.

What did you like best about Weaveworld? What did you like least?

The story set off at a detailed and intricate pace, then continued the same. Not impressed.

What could Clive Barker have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Opened the story more quickly.

What does Simon Vance bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Don't know. I got an hour, maybe two into it, then gave up. I shall return this book.

Did Weaveworld inspire you to do anything?

Go outside and complete my irrigation pipe system instead of listening to it.

Any additional comments?

This is a much hyped tale that, frankly, didn't live up to the hype. I expected something along the lines of Deborah Harkness, but with much darker undertones. I was bored bored bored. There was no early hook after the episode with the first viewing of the carpet (which promised much to come). I shall return this book.

Much ado about nothing

On recommendation from a good friend I was passed a battered book. I got the audio book and devoured it. A wonderful tail which is so tantalising close it feels almost true ... am I a cuckoo ... perhaps I am???

Amazingly wonderful and special ...

The narrator had a really easy voice to listen too. Great use of voice for different characters , although on occasion I did get confused between Shadwell and some of the other Fuge individuals. Overall a 9 out of ten and very enjoyable! Worth every penny. 100% recommend!

Clive Barker is a supreme storyteller! First read this 30 years ago and this telling of is was a delight.

I read this when it was first released and loved it. Still as good today.

A great story

Great story and narration only let down slightly by the poor Liverpudlian accents. Simon Vance is usually great and he is throughout the rest - but in places where Cal and Brendan's accents were wavering between Yorkshire, Birmingham and Liverpool it was pretty jarring.

One of my fave Clive Barker novels

Brilliant fantastique fiction, but Simon Vance can not do a scouse, or any type of northern, accent- in fact all of his voices are horrible- especially Immacolata, he manages to turn one of my all-time-favourite antagonists into a unthreatening school ma'am, but even his own voice is rubbish; he butchers place names, and places emphasis in weird places in sentences like he hasn't passed even a cursory glance over the text before reading. Weaveworld deserves so much better than this!
I was looking forward to the Audible version of Dracula, but Vance is involved with that as well, so I'll be giving it a miss.

Wonderful story, with truly terrible narration.

I've not read Clive Barker before, my first experience was the audio book of Damnation Game which I enjoyed so thought I'd try Weaveworld.
Narration was great as I always love Simon Vance narration.
Sorry was a wonderful emotional ride of horror and fantasy. More fantasy than horror but it does have its darker moments.

Great story of horror fantasy and adventure.
