Sacrament is a 1996 novel by British author Clive Barker.
[1] It follows a wildlife photographer who is obsessed with documenting species of animals that are faced with extinction.
The Author described it as "a story about how we become who we are and how we must deal with what we are by facing up to including the things that happened to us in childhood, good and bad.
"[2] Kirkus Reviews wrote: "By turns suspenseful, intellectually exciting, wildly melodramatic, turgid, and bombastic, Barker's novel is charged—in its complex development and surprising resolution—with very real, very human emotion.
"[3] Grant McKenzie of the Calgary Herald called the novel "heartwarming" yet "heartbreaking" and "uplifting as well as depressing.
