Yep, interesting stuff... And if we were talking about Stephen King I might agree with you on the use of that detachment when writing his books, but with Clive Barker I think he might have performed that high-wire act without the comfort of a safety net - and that's not a comment on his sexuality or anything, it's from what I've read of his books - which brim over with strange esoteric desires, that's he's a sensation seeker and probably one who, to borrow a corny line from Hellraiser, is an explorer in the further regions of experience...
