Seine Werke tauchen in dunkle, traumähnliche Landschaften ein und erforschen das Unbekannte und übernatürliche Grauen. Barker kehrte nach einer bedeutenden Pause in das Horror-Genre zurück, wobei seine umfassende Geschichte in diesem Bereich Veröffentlichungen in Fanzines und verschiedenen Anthologien umfasst.

In a country beset by civil war, New London defends itself behind a giant wall. Inside the city, children are forced to work from an early age, except for the lucky few who train to be leaders in the re-purposed Palace of Westminster. 12-year-old orphaned Pax is brilliant at recycling old tech. He enjoys working on the verti-farms and just wants a bit of peace and quiet. But when that is taken away from him, his only hope is to pass a near-impossible exam and join the other students in Scholastic Parliament. There he’ll make new friends and new enemies. He’ll get tested like never before. And he’ll discover that not everything is quite what it seems under the mayor’s harsh leadership.
