The Thief of Always by Clive Barker
My Favorite Book!
Mr. Hoods Holiday House has stood for a thousand years, welcoming
countless children into its embrace. It is a place of miracles where every
childhood whim may be satisfied. There is a price to be paid, of course, but
young Harvey Swick, bored with his life and beguiled by Mr. Hoods
wonders, does not stop to consider the consequences. It is only when the
house shows its darker face—when Harvey discovers the pitiful creatures
that dwell in its shadows—that he comes to doubt Mr. Hoods philanthropy.
But the house and its mysterious architect are not about to release their
captive without a battle. Mr. Hood has ambitions for his new guest, for
Harveys soul burns brighter than any he has encountered in ten centuries .

This book was just AWESOME! I had actually seen it on television, saying
something about Clive Barker doing the artwork in it. I found it in my local
library and just could NOT put it down. Im used to Clive Barker being for an
older audience, but when I read the book as a teen, it was EXTRMELY
easy to follow and understand. It read like a kids book, but had a story
beyond that. It had me on the edge of my seat [and on my teachers last
nerve].
A friend of mine bought it for me for a present. Its one of my favorite gifts. I
dont think my copy even has creases in it LOL.
