Next up is Sabbaticus, a reptilian and murderous beast. Through Doctor Fetter, Barker shows us the theme familiar throughout his work – that of man being the true monster and the abnormal the victims. Next we meet a powerful Golem, followed by Doctor Fetter’s Family of Freaks. The second chapter introduces us to Tom’s victim, Mary Slaughter, a now undead master of blades. He has been chosen to lead the infernal parade. He is to pay for his crimes, prosecuted as a murderer, with his head. His time of manipulating people and the fabrications about his life have come to a close. Barker brings us six tales for the six fantastical figures that make up the infernal parade and how they came to join up.įirst is Tom Requiem, a trickster who could be anything to anyone. The infernal parade is to be a group that will shake man from his complacent state and strike fear into all. These stories, originally crafted for the 2004 release of the figures, are now brought together into one complete collection. Similar to Tortured Souls, these are the back stories to a range of McFarland figures created in conjunction with Clive Barker. Subterranean Press brings us Infernal Parade, the latest offering from legendary author, Clive Barker.
