All the books by Clive Barker I've read were translated, so I can't argue with you about the grammar, old. But I don't find the characters stupid. He changes them in strange ways. The character no one paid any attention to in the beginning could in the middle or end become anything else, much more important. And characters you thought were too important to lose can all of a sudden disappear or change to something completely different. I've had a hard time finding other books with the same thing in them, so that's what I like about Barker.
