The Thief of Always by Clive Barker6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() However, some sinister hints are dropped, such as the collection of children's clothes in the attic, the foreboding lake with child-sized fish behind the House, and mentions of a fourth member of Rictus's family called " Carna". Griffin and her seemingly sentient cats, and two of Rictus's "siblings". Harvey quickly befriends the incumbent residents of the house: two other kids named Wendell and Lulu, kindly caretaker Mrs. There are four seasons a day, every night is Christmas, and the House grants any wish, all made possible by a man called Mr. ![]() Until a shady figure named Rictus appears in his room and offers him a stay at the " Holiday House", a paradise where kids don't age or ever have work. Ten-year-old Harvey Swick is unsatisfied with boring, day-to-day life he is sick of dealing with school, homework, nagging parents. It deals with temptation, growing up and mortality, and it has a few good helpings of horror, as expected of Clive Barker. The Thief of Always is a fable written by Clive Barker that may read like a children's book, but it's just as enjoyable for adults. ![]()
