- Hmmm. Actually, ITF was the first Barker I ever read, and was the
- book that turned me on to Clive. It and 'The Inhuman Condition' are
- my two favorite of BoB. Basically, the other five are similar in
- terms of themes and content, and I have found them to be among the
- best short horror works in recent history.
