About this listen
Mr. Hood's Holiday House has stood for 1,000 years, welcoming countless children into its embrace. It is a place of miracles and blissful rounds of treats and seasons, where every childhood whim may be satisfied.…
There is a price to be paid, of course, but young Harvey Swick, bored with his life and beguiled by Mr. Hood's wonders, does not stop to consider the consequences. It is only when the House shows it's darker face - when Harvey discovers the pitiful creatures that dwell in its shadows - that he comes to doubt Mr. Hood's philanthropy.
The House and its mysterious architect are not about to release their captive without a battle, however. Mr. Hood has ambitions for his new guest, for Harvey's soul burns brighter than any soul he has encountered in a thousand years….

It's a wonderful, timeless tale about a young boy who visits a magical house. As with all of Barker's work, it is beautifully written and contains many odd characters.
This was my first time listening to an audiobook narrated by Adam Verner, and I have to say his work was absolutely perfect for this material. It was a pleasure to listen to.
Another winner from Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.
Wonderful Clive Barker Story Suitable for All Ages

Would you consider the audio edition of The Thief of Always to be better than the print version?
No. One of my primary school teachers read this to our class years ago, I must have been 7 years old. The content was just as good, but the voices of the characters, (especally Wendell), were very annoying! I prefer the way my teacher read it!What was one of the most memorable moments of The Thief of Always?
It was all about reminiscing. I loved the Halloween parts, they remind me of Halloween as a child.What didn’t you like about Adam Verner’s performance?
Annoying voices, Wendell reminded me of Patrick Star from SpongebobDid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really.Brings back memories!

At less than five hours it's not a long listen. Who's the intended audience? Difficult to tell, but I could probably play it to my grandchildren without it freaking them out.
The narrator does a tidy job. Recommended overall.
It's good

The narrator, however, was excellent. His pacing and diction were excellent, as were the voices he used for the many characters in the book. I will definitely seek out further audiobooks with this narrator.
In conclusion, this is in no way a ‘bad’ book, just don’t go into it expecting Pinhead!
Not what I was expecting
