I don't know how many times I've re-read #Abarat but I enjoy it evertime.

In the middle of editing ch.1 of C&T and decided that Comedii needs a friend.

Also I want to make a fanfiction about #Abarat were Princess Candy kidnaps Carrion.

Gouache painting of Christopher Carrion from Clive Barker’s Abarat, a thin, skeletal man holding a book in one hand. The lower half of his face is submerged in a horrible fluid, and his lips have scars where they were previously sewn shut.

girls will be like “hear me out” and it’s literally christopher carrion

Torn between my next read being an old favourite or the next book club pick #popcornandpaperbacks #clivebarkerusuallywins #abarat

Now that I have a bookcase, I've realized I don't have the first #Abarat book. I have books 2 and 3 and I thought I still had it. 😑😮‍💨

That means I need to make plans to buy a new one. Hopefully, I get the one with paintings inside.

Abarat is seriously a YA Fantasy series that’s SEVERELY underrated.
If you love beautiful worlds, compelling cast, awesome villains and one of the best protags

Characters from Clive Barker’s Abarat series. Fantastical people in funky outfits

Characters from Clive Barker’s Abarat. I loved the first two books in my teens, didn’t even know there was a third until recently. #abarat #clivebarker #fantasyart (And yes I knooooowww but the thing with Boa left a bad taste in my mouth)

Mischief and Candy walk- looking behind them as if to make sure they arent being followed

Mischief attempts to pick a lock while his brothers pester him. Evidently he didnt open it fast enough- as he is running from the scene of the crime in the next part.

🌞 It’s Abarat hours! Have Some Mischief!!

A veces, los sueños no son como uno espera. Chickentown es el lugar más aburrido de Estados Unidos, y donde vive Candy Quackenbush se pregunta qué será de su futuro. En su corazón alberga la esperanza de irse lejos de allí y vivir algo emocionante, pero cuando su deseo se ve cumplido no resulta como ella esperaba. ¡Bienvenidos a Abarat!, un extenso archipiélago donde cada isla marca una hora diferente. Candy descubre que tiene un objetivo en esa tierra: debe salvar a Abarat de las fuerzas oscuras que amenazan su equilibrio, fuerzas más antiguas que el mismísimo tiempo, y más perversas de lo que jamás se hubiera imaginado. Candy es una heroína atípica y lo sabe, pero Abarat es un mundo atípico donde todo es posible. Una maravillosa mezcla de ficción y terror.

Con Abarat (de la que Clive Barker ha escrito tres volúmenes) el autor inglés quería escribir algo que nos descubriera lo que él sintió al empezar a leer fantasía de niño. Clive Barker nació en Liverpool en 1952 y estudió inglés y filosofía antes de convertirse a los treinta y tres años en el gran renovador de la ficción de terror con la publicación de una serie de relatos agrupados en varios volúmenes bajo el título genérico de LIBROS DE SANGRE. Aparte de su dedicación al género, Barker también ha sido y es un prolífico artista gráfico e ilustrador, además de director de cine y autor teatral habitual de la escena independiente londinense. Clive Barker contribuyó con sus primeros relatos (en los 80) a la evolución del género de horror al introducir el sexo y la violencia de un modo gráfico y brutal, recreándose en la descripción de los horrores más tortuosos, físicos y viscerales, reforzando así en buena medida el arsenal literario del cuento de miedo, aunque luego exploró la fantasía con algunas de sus obras como Sortilegio, Demonio de libro, El gran espectáculo secreto, Imajica o El libro de las maldiciones.

A veces, los sueños no son como uno espera ✨

Digital illustration of a younger version of Christopher Carrion from Clive Barker's ABARAT. He is a youth with short, red and blonde hair. He is smoking a pipe.

Digital illustration of Princess Boa and Prince Quiffin from Clive Barker's ABARAT. They are sitting close together, looking at someone outside the frame. Quiffin states, "I hear he's a master of ancient sorcery." Boa replies, "I know." Quiffin goes on, "Pretty cute, too."

More Young Carrion ft. some... admirers??

Fun 🐱 #cat facts, top to bottom:

Cici is named after Celia Bowen, from #TheNightCircus by #ErinMorgenstern

Otto is named after Otto Houlihan, The Criss-Cross Man. #Abarat #CliveBarker

Marco is named after Marco Alisdair. #TheNightCircus

MeiMei is a #rescue. We slightly changed her name.

Older fan art, of a specific bent.
I had many more ABARAT pieces and should probably do more NIGHTBREED, so I may just have to do more with the new tools on hand.
