#imajica — Public Fediverse posts

Over the past month or so I've repurchased four books from my (let's call it...) youth. I have lost a lot of stuff from my childhood home and while I can't replace everything, I do like that I can some things.

In this case, the items are actually upgrades.

Picked up hardback copies of #StephenKing ,errr #PeterStraub (ha) #TheTalisman and #TheBlackHouse. Also grabbed hardbacks of #CliveBarker #WeaveWorld and #Imajica. (I've also got autographed copies of #Everville and #TheGreatAndSecretShow, but those were picked up years ago)

I've read them all in paperback way, way back in the day, but I like the security of hardback.

All I know is, I'm gonna be pissed if Amazon ever buys #ThriftBooks.

I used to like #clivebarker, but I haven't read one of his books in probably 25–30 years. So I went on eBay and bought a used copy of #Imajica. I honestly can't remember if I read it. I read #Weaveworld, but have zero memories of what it was about. So, I'll probably buy that one next. #horror #fantasy

@williamfaicher I’m not avid, so it’s a different scale, but #Sacrament, my first book by #CliveBarker, was like poetry, ocean-deep and personal. Because of it, I’m tackling #Imajica next, pray for me.
