I contributed a loving reflection on Clive Barker, and my friendship with him, to this special edition from Fiddleblack.

 

Philosopher/Professor Eugene Thacker prefaces the book, providing a clear context for Cabal’s legacy in horror history and setting the tone for the essay collection, while the Church of Satan’s High Priest Peter H. Gilmore offers a necessary investigation of Cabal’s Satanic symbology. Southern Gothic author John McManus contributes notes on the novella’s subtext. Official Barker archivists Phil & Sarah Stokes and Seraphim Films Vice President Mark Miller both contribute as close-to-the-fold authorities on Barker’s ultimate vision for Cabal.
