Imajica

Imajica is a 1991 fantasy novel by English writer Clive Barker. The narrative unfolds within a multiverse of parallel dimensions, exploring the interplay between reality, magic, and the cosmic forces that shape existence. It is known for its intricate world-building, complex characters, and a blend of fantasy, horror, and philosophical elements. The story revolves around the protagonist, John Furie Zacharias, also known as Gentle, as he becomes entangled in a multidimensional conflict involving parallel universes, powerful beings, and the mysteries of creation.

Critical reception
Kirkus Reviews considered that Imajica had surpassed his previous work like The Great and Secret Show (1989) and said that it was "an astonishing feat of the imagination, immensely engrossing despite its demanding—at times indulgent—length, running riot with ideas, fantastical inventions, graphic sex and violence, soul- terrors, and emotional and intellectual resonances." And overall considered it Barker's best work yet.
