The Thief of Always

Aribat, yeah, that's another one.

Thief of Always? Have you guys read the Books of Blood? Those rule.

Yeah, those are the short stories.

Yeah, novelists?

Yeah, I would not have expected that.

Um, called The Thief of Always, which is about a supernatural entity that traps children and steals their youth-

Oh

...

Anyway, I didn't watch the movie, but I really like Ray Bradbury, and I vote for the book.

There you go.

Our next comment was from Kelly Napier, who said, "Okay, first things first, shout out to Eric for The Thief of Always love.

I feel like no one knows about that book, and it's amazing.

1981, he wrote Imajica, a massive, multi-dimension fantasy that many consider his most ambitious novel, a story of reconciliation, identity, and the hidden architecture of the universe.

In 1982, he wrote The Thief of Always, a dark children's fable illustrated by Barker himself.

In 1984, he put together Everville, his second Book of the Art.

1996, he wrote the novel Sacrament.

I could not stand them.

I was more so into reading like fairies and fantasy and I like R.L. Stine and The Secret Garden and The Thief of Always.

So that's the kind of stuff that I would read.

And then I got into John Saul and I would read like mild horror.
