Cold Heart Canyon - Clive Barker

Cold Heart Canyon is a tongue-in-cheek look at the underbelly of Hollywood. Todd Pickett an idol of the silver screen is on his way down. In a desperate bid to hang onto fame and adoration he opts for cosmetic surgery, which goes horribly wrong. Hiding in an old mansion from his fans and the paparazzi while he recovers he stumbles across long dead movie stars and the Cold Hearted actress from the silent age Katya Lupescu whose beauty and lust belies her true age and nature. In a city of many addictions non come stranger than the Devil’s Country, hidden in a room in the mansion, and those who are waiting in the darkness to view it again. Can Tammy Lauper, President of the Todd Pickett Fan Club, rescue her fallen hero before he succumbs to the Hunt and loses his soul to Katya forever?


An acquired taste, Clive Barker never fails to amaze with his fantastic imagination, unlikely heroes, beautiful but demonic women and nightmarish landscapes, all interlaced with sexual fantasy.

Not for the faint hearted, explicit at times, a conjurer of words, Clive Barker is a master of this genre.
