Through Katya, Pickett discovers a strange basement room which appears to have magical properties, the walls coming to life and acting as a window to a bizarre and wildly imaginative new world. Pickett soon finds that Katya has her own vested interest in the strange room, and discovers that all is not as it seems at Coldheart Canyon, with the ghosts of long-dead stars from Hollywood's golden age congregating there to engage in wild drunken orgies throughout the night as the rest of Hollywood sleeps on, obliviou...more |

The main character Clive Barker's Coldheart Canyon is Todd Pickett, a fading Hollywood film star who undergoes a plastic surgery operation to improve his declining good looks only for the procedure to go horribly wrong, leaving him disfigured and his career in ruins.

The dividing line between fantasy and horror can be fine. Perhaps drawn together for the most part, it's up to the author to decide how far he/she wants to venture into the genre of their choice. ***Introduction and background*** Coldheart Canyon is a sprawling Clive Barker epic about Hollywood. At 751 pages it was a hefty read which took me a while to negotiate. Barker is an established talent in the writing world. Somewhat wistfully, the quote that launched him into the big league - "Clive Barker is so good that I am quite literally tongue-tied" - is now a burden in the author's eyes despite its accreditation to the ephemeral Steven ...
