For me, I still see BOOKS OF BLOOD as the seminal work of his career -- one that has stood the test of time well -- even though it was his debut work, but then again I wasn't as nearly as much of a fan -- and even less so these days -- of his more fantastical work...I really prefer that early horror that put him on the map. That, though, obviously says more about my own preferences than the value of any particular work of his.

Everville is the sequel to The Great and Secret Show. Both books are excellent.

Damnation Game is closer to horror, like the Hellbound Heart (Hellraiser). I recommend Weaveworld, which is one of my favorite books, to get a real taste of what Imagica has in store.

Thanks for the suggestion. My plan is to read something I have in hand before buying more.
