Wikipedia

Books of the Art or The Art Trilogy is a planned trilogy of novels by British writer Clive Barker, currently consisting of The Great and Secret Show (1989) and Everville (1994). As of 2025 the untitled third novel in the series, which Barker claims will be "a big book when it comes" and that will be written with "as much feeling as possible" has no scheduled release date.

The trilogy has been cited as an example of Barker's use of magic as a motif to "comment upon the work of the creator of art" and Barker himself has used the term to describe transformative magic that is used as "windows through which to glimpse the miraculous". The series thus far has been compared to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
