A fascinating interview with Clive Barker in LA Weekly. Conducted by Dennis Cooper. I wonder what on earth gave them the idea to work that combination of people. Whatever it was, it worked out well.
Of course, the things he's done that were the least commercially successful are the things I like the most. (Although I still think that the person who recommended Sacrament to me on the basis that it wasn't horror was on major drugs. Then again, maybe I just have a very broad definition of horror.) And his views on writing in general, how he works, are really interesting.
I have a hard time believing that the man in that photo is 48 years old, though.
