Clive Barker, the most exciting new master of horror today, unleashes a world of powerful eroticism, violence and uncontrolled desires. In these five brillant tales, human hands tear themselves from their masters to start a bloody revolution; a knotted string unravels dark hungering nightmares; in a Texas motel room, the living and the dead make love; a palace is built to lure Satan back to earth; and a powerful aphrodisiac creates ghastly sexual urgings.
