Sacrament
1996 "Will approached the table, and saw that Steep's captive was a moth, the wings of which he had caught between thumb and forefinger. It's legs and antennae flailed as it was dropped into the flames, and for an instant it seemed the draft of heat would waft it to safety, but before it could gain sufficient height it's wings ignited and down it went. "Living and dying we feed the fire," Steep said softly," That is the melancholy truth of things." From Sacrament. |

Sacrament is perhaps Clive Barker's most controversial novel, perhaps because of it's departure from deeper fantasy. However, you'll find Sacrament has riches all it's own.
