- Iad Uroboros
The Iad Uroboros refers to a race of beings in
Clive Barker 's booksThe Great and Secret Show andEverville , known as the first two books ofThe Art Trilogy . The race hails from across the dream seaQuiddity in themetacosm (as opposed to thecosm , which is the reality we know).The Iad Uroboros may be more accurately described as an enormous malevolent force than a race. It is the antithesis of humanity and looks like a swarm of darkness. Its exact nature is not fully revealed in the first two books (which is all that have been written thus far).
