So Abarat was going to be a trilogy

Then Quartet

Now Quintent

And I know we've been waiting 14 years just for book 4

But

I think he should add one more book

6 books

Call that

A Sextant

Hello Abarat fandom, are you still alive out there??

I'm rereading these books for the first time in a few years and was struck that I'd never drawn these two together. Sometimes a family is a centuries-old seamstress bent on world domination and the orphaned grandson she absolutely despises

Anyway I looove Clive's painting of a young Christopher so I had to pay my homage to it <3

Clive Barker (b. 1952) - The Stichlings Howl

[welcometotheabarat]

I dreamed I spoke in another's language, I dreamed I lived in another's skin, I dreamed I was my own beloved, I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.

I dreamed that Eden lived inside me, And when I breathed a garden came, I dreamed I knew all of Creation, I dreamed I knew the Creator's name.

I dreamed--and this dream was the finest-- That all I dreamed was real and true, And we would live in joy forever, You in me, and me in you. ― Clive Barker, Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War

The answer to the 20+ year old question of "where the hell is Letheo after Days of Magic?" was hiding in plain sight for over a decade.
