honestly did not know what to expect with my first ever brush with clive barker in text format- but i was happily blown away. the audiobook read by doug bradley (the og pinhead!) was just so... delightful? couldn't have felt like a better voice given to jakabob. the whole thing felt like a more grim, intense take on good omens- and for what it's worth i mean that as the highest of compliments.

i loved the medieval vibes, and the ending did make me feel a touch of genuine emotion so. personally, it's a slay.
