Summary
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.

Terrible scouse accent
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!

Much ado about nothing
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.

Amazingly wonderful and special ...
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???

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

One of my fave Clive Barker novels
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.

Great story of horror fantasy and adventure.
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.

A Fantastical Journey
Read this book many years ago when it was originally released and it was fondly remembered yet for some reason I never returned to the weave. Browsing Audible I came across it and didn't have to think twice about purchasing.
Just finished it a few moments ago and the years haven't dulled this amazing stories brilliance. Captivating from start to finish. Ground breaking when Barker presented this story as he blended his horror style with contemporary fantasy to great effect. An amazing story from a superb author and a story you will want to revisit for sure.

The Beauty of Imagination
Barker is an absolute genius. A complete, full fledge, vivid poetic prose which Simon Vance totally brought to life.
