About this listen

Cabal is the story of Boone, a tortured soul haunted by the conviction that he has committed atrocious crimes. In a necropolis in the wilds of Canada, he seeks refuge and finds the last great creatures of the world - the shape-shifters known as the Nightbreed. They are possessed of unearthly powers-and so is Boone. In the hunt for Boone, they too will be hunted. Now only the courage of this strange human can save them from extinction. And only the undying passion of a woman can save Boone from his own corrupting hell...

This novella is the basis for the Major Motion Picture - Nightbreed.

A great reading of a book that is very close to my heart. I think we all want to find Midian.

Any additional comments?

This is one of Barker's last horror efforts, and it shows. The prose is excellent, though it lacks some of the spark found in his earlier works. Still worth a listen though.

only ever saw the film so was curious as to how the book was, found the narrator a bit boring to listen to initially but soon got into it and thoroughly enjoyed.
wish there was more to the story though....
