Mr. B. Gone - Clive Barker

Anybody read this yet? Clive Barker's first horror novel since god knows when. All about a medieval demon fished up from hell by men, narrated by that demon. Nice, nasty, darkly humorous (there's a line in there, about one time when Mr. B. had kidnapped dozens of infants, that the locals had tracked him to his hiding spot because "there was a hole in one of your sacks. You left a trail of wailing infants" that was so wrong and so surreal that I couldn't help but laugh), gripping read; I had to finish it in one day.
