Volume Two: Dog Tales - released July 2010 "...Memory, Prophecy and Fantasy is our continuing project to document the evolving themes, concerns and passions within Clive's work. With full access to Clive's archives and invaluable contributions from his friends and closest collaborators, for the last ten years we have been piecing together fragments, scripts, sketches and ephemera to chart the successes, the failures and the what-might-have-beens, compiling the definitive and illustrated portrait of Clive's work.
What started as a personal exploration into the plays performed by the Dog Company in the years before Clive rose to prominence with his eponymous Books of Blood has blossomed into a multi-volume series that will ultimately cover all of Clive's works, all the way from those earliest plays through his more famous works and right up to the present day."I purchased myself a copy of Volume One - Liverpool Lives when it first came out, and I've got to say that if you're a fan of Clive Barker's work, then this is a fantastic insight into his life and his early work. I've now preorderd Volume Two which I hope will be just as insightful and enjoyable. Full details, including how to order a copy can be found here: www.clivebarker.info/memorybooks.html

Looks good.
And I see they're going to do a third volume, with a chapter concentrating on his plays.
"In Volume Three we are planning a chapter on the life of Clive's plays since the publication of Incarnations and Forms of Heaven in the mid-1990s. If you have been involved in a production of one of the plays (or maybe an adaptation of one of Clive's books for the stage), we'd love to hear from you."
Sooo...anyone here been involved in a stage adaptation of one of his tales? If so, drop them a line.
(C'mon, Willie - I'm sure I saw you in Rawhead Rex on Ice a few years ago!) ;D

The plans are for there to be a whole series of these books, continuing through Barker's prolific career until the present day. The print run is very small (just 250 copies of each volume) so it's worth getting in quickly if you're interested in nabbing a copy.

My copy of Memory, Prophecy & Fantasy: Volume 2 arrived today. Looks as beautifully presented and indepth as Volume 1. Looking forward to delving further into Barker's early works with this...
Highly recommended folks!
