The Damnation Game by Clive BarkerRead about the other entries on the list.
This is Clive Barker’s first novel, and my favorite by a long-shot, partly because it feels very contained, and partly because the twisted horror scenes are so creative. A completely absorbing and chilling tale about a Faustian bargain gone awry, the book is full of haunting and macabre imagery, and left me feeling unsettled long after I turned the last page.
