Simultaneously, Mimi's granddaughter Suzanna Parrish arrives in the city at Mimi's behest. A young man named Calhoun Mooney, chasing an escaped homing pigeon, accidentally glimpses the Fugue hidden in the carpet, which profoundly affects him. Mimi reaches old age and is hospitalised following a stroke. The Fugue, resembling an ordinary, albeit exquisitely woven, carpet is left in the care of a normal woman, Mimi Laschenski, who married one of the Seerkind and resides in Liverpool, England. This creature's nature is entirely unknown to the Seerkind, as no-one has survived to describe it. Their aim was to avoid persecution by humans (who call them demons and fairies) and eradication by a destructive being known as the Scourge. The book was nominated in 1988 for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel.ĭecades prior to the book's opening, a magical race known as the Seerkind combined all of their powers to create a secret world known as "the Fugue", a carpet into which they wove their most beloved locations, animals, possessions and themselves as a safe haven. Two normal people become embroiled in the fate of the Fugue, attempting to save it from those who seek to destroy it. It is about a magical world that is hidden inside a tapestry, known as the Fugue, to safeguard it from both inquisitive humans and hostile supernatural foes. Weaveworld is a 1987 dark fantasy novel by English writer Clive Barker.
