The Scarlet Gospels - Clive Barker

 A disappointing read.  His best work seems to have been the Abarat Trilogy.  Characters are stereotypical and lack convincing depth.  The action is repetitive in its graphic description of endless gory violence.  The storyline has potential, some creativity but the stylistic weaknesses undermine it too much.
