A dazzling fantasy adventure for all ages, the second part of a
quartet appearing at two yearly intervals, richly illustrated by
the author. Film rights sold to Disney for $8 million on the
paintings alone. The Abarat; a magical otherworld composed on an
archipelago of twenty-five islands - one for each hour of the day,
plus an island out of time. Candy Quackenbush, escaping her dull,
dull life from the most boring place in our world, Chickentown,
USA, finds that in the Abarat she has another existence entirely,
one which links her to marvels and mysteries-and even to murder...
In this, the second volume in Clive Barker's extraordinary fantasy
for both adults and children, Candy's adventures in the amazing
world of the Abarat are getting more strange by the Hour.
Christopher Carrion, the Lord of Midnight, has sent his henchmen to
capture her. Why? she wonders. What would Carrion want with a girl
from Minnesota? And why is Candy beginning to feel that the world
of the Abarat is familiar to her? Why can she speak words of magic
she doesn't even remember learning? There is a mystery here. And
Carrion, along with his fiendish grandmother, Mater Motley,
suspects that whatever Candy is, she could spoil his plans to take
control of the Abarat. Now Candy's companions must race against
time to save her from the clutches of Carrion, and she must solve
the mystery of her past before the forces of Night and Day clash
and Absolute Midnight descends upon the islands. A final war is
about to begin. And Candy is going to need to make some choices
that will change her life forever...
