"This was the first book i read by Clive Barker, and I had always thought he was really hard to read, but i was pleasantly surprised how awesome his writing/description is. I read the first novella/short story "Cabal" within a few days and thoroughly enjoyed it."
"Clive Barker's dark Cabal (the movie "Nightbreed" is based on it) is one of his many great tales. I'm almost as impressed by this author's economical writing power and his grasp of human nature as I am with his original stories. This one's a horror love story that begins with a trusted but secretly psychotic psychiatrist convincing the hero he's a murderer. Hunted, the hero seeks a safe haven with the shape-shifting Nightbreed.There's one gorgeously direct sex scene in Cabal that should be read by any romance novelist as an inoculation against purple prose."
"Este es el primer libro de CLive Barker que he leído, y me gustó mucho. Es mucho más imaginativo que, por ejemplo, Stephen King, y desarrolla su trama y sus argumentos de manera más efectiva también. Me encantó el inicio. La prosa, a pesar de los detalles mal logrados de la traducción, me pareció buena, y en general fue una lectura agradable."
"Clive Barker always has really cool characters but the writing in this book is just horrible. It's like an editor didn't even give it a once over. There a multiple mistakes throughout. One of my favorites is when Decker drives up with his headlights off so he can sneak into Midian. Then he checks checks his gun in the light of the headlights. ????"
