Clive Barker's Abarat HC Candy Quackenbush from Chickentown, U.S.A., is about to embark on an epic journey that will change her boring life forever! Fate thrusts her over the magical threshold of a forgotten world, as she dives from a barren field in Minnesota and is swept to the twenty-five islands of the Abarat, a world like nothing she has ever seen. . .or, has she? Here, Candy encounters sorcery, mystery, and fantastical characters as she endeavors to piece together why she has come to this place, and why the evil Lord Carrion desperately wants to track her down. The first installment of the unprecedented The Books of Abarat, this rich, wild, and utterly unpredictable story features over a hundred full-color images painted by Barker, illuminating his remarkably imaginative text.
