Ask Clive Barker
Later this afternoon, I am going to be interviewing one of my idols since my high school days, Clive Barker. I've read nearly everything he's ever written seen most of the movies based on his works, particularly the ones he was involved in. this is going to be quite the momentous occasion for me and I'm excited to be able to share the interview with all of you.
As always with these things, I like to open it up to all of you in case you might have some questions you want answered as well. So if you have any questions you would like me to ask the great Mr. Barker, please leave them in the comments and I will do my best to include them in the interview.

I'd appreciate it if you'd ask him if there are any plans to adapt "Coldheart Canyon" into a film?
It's one of my favorite books that he has written.
Thanks!
FB!!! Coulds you ask him:
Anything about the Abarat movie and the next book ;D. I heard the trilogy has been expanded to like 5 books is that true?
I would really appreciate it. Thank you, love to you from Santa Cruz, love to him from Santa Cruz

You should ask him if I could have his babies.
Hi,
Ask him if the poor critical response to Jericho is going to keep him from producing more games.
Also any details on The Scarlet Gospels would be awesome.
Thanks!

Does he moisturize?
What are some of his thoughts on children's literature—how close is children's literature to video games? To horror? (Are kids gaming too much and not reading enough, or is the balance just right?)
I'd love to know his thoughts on horror in literature vs. film vs. videogames vs. comics, since he's one of the few who have created work across all four media. In light of a lot of recent press recently about videogames doing horror better than film does, I'm curious as to if he's leaning more toward a specific media, or if it's just dependent on the story he's trying to tell.
I'd like to know how he approaches writing for a game differently than writing for a book or film. I'd also like to know what games he enjoys playing.
Good luck with the interview!
I to would like to know about the third Abarat book. The second book is the only book I own that I haven't read as I refuse to until I get a release date.
Maybe you could found out what is gamertag is?
Screw the Abarat books. Will he ever finish Great and Secret Show trilogy?
I wish I were the sky....
"You've been an outspoken supporter as the 'Games as art' argument, but one could argue that games such as Jericho are examples or what keeps video games mired under the label of simple entertainment to many of those on the opposite side of the argument. During the development of Jericho, did you believe you were making art or did you believe you were making entertainment?"
Actually, as a real question: this.
I can't think of any good questions except that you are one seriously lucky sonofa and that isn't really even a question. Although I'll join in with the people who want to wheedle more Abarat information out of him. More! More! More!
Excluding the obvious Pinhead, ask him who his favorite Cenobite is (this includes the ones from the novels)
I'm probably too late.. If you've already had the interview with him, could you tell me what he said about the next book, the movie, and there's really going to be five? And PLEASE tell me how you got an interview with him.. I just want to tell him how much he made me LOVE to read. I never liked books because I didn't think there was one I'd be interested in, until I read The Abarat 1+2. I love them so much and he's my favorite Author.
