Cal Mooney is on the run from an escaped homing pigeon. Together they find themselves accidently drawn into the strange world that lies beneath the mysterious rug. Here, a race of magical beings have hidden themselves from the normal world to escape human persecution and an evil known as the Scourge. But two other evils, a ruthless witch and her sidekick, seek the carpet for their own gain and will do whatever it takes to find it. As the intricate weavings of the tapestry come undone, Suzanna and Cal must face their biggest fears to save this discovered land and all its inhabitants. <p/>Brutal, beautiful, brilliant, and full of his original illustrations, Clive Barker spins his best in this "unhinged and indulgent" (<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>) imaginative tale.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] fabulously-rendered world where Barker made everything--even the struggles of microscopic creatures in a Persian carpet--real and convincing and absorbing."--Tor.com<br><br>"[Clive Barker] is a mapmaker of the mind, charting the furthest reaches of the imagination...
