Synopsis
"Barker's the best thing to happen to horror fiction for many moons. . . [he] never fails to deliver the compelling prose and relentless horror his readers expect." -- Chicago Tribune The classic tale of supernatural obsession from the critically acclaimed master of darkness--and the inspiration for the cult classic film Hellraiser From his scores of short stories, bestselling novels, and major motion pictures, no one comes close to the vivid imagination and unique terrors provided by Clive Barker. The Hellbound Heart is one of Barker's best--a nerve-shattering novella about the human heart and all the great terrors and ecstasies within its endless domain. It is about greed and love, desire and death, life and captivity, bells and blood. It is one of the most frightening stories you are likely to ever read. Frank Cotton's insatiable appetite for the dark pleasures of pain led him to the puzzle of Lemarchand's box, and from there, to a death only a sick-minded soul could invent. But his brother's love-crazed wife, Julia, has discovered a way to bring Frank back--though the price will be bloody and terrible . . . and there will certainly be hell to pay., From his Books of Blood to The Damnation Game, Weaveworld, and The Great and Secret Show, to scores of short stories, bestselling novels, and now major motion pictures, no one comes close to the vivid imagination and unique terrors provided by Clive Barker. The Hellbound Heart is one of his best, a nerve-shattering novella about the human heart and all the great terrors and ecstasies within its endless domain. It is about greed and love, lovelessness and despair, desire and death, life and captivity, bells and blood. It is one of the most dead-frightening stories you are likely to ever read., "Barker's the best thing to happen to horror fiction for many moons. . .

    Some fun word play, well paced but it comes off as Goosebumps for adults.

    A good value and a quick read, also a fun one but by no means one of my favorite books.

    The Hellbound Heart, or Hellraiser (in print).

    The Hellbound Heart is on of Clive Barker's best known stories, and the inspiration for the Hellraiser movies. A few differences aside, this is basically the story of Frank and Julia (the first movie), and an introduction to the Cenobites. I won't mention any of the differences here (you'll have to read the book and watch the movie to figure those out, my friend), but they do make a world of difference. In most cases when a book is translated to film you hear people commenting, "The book was better." In my opinion, this is one of those rarities when the movie outshines the book. That's not saying that the book isn't worth reading; I'm sure a true fan of the series would love to know the origin of Pinhead and the other demons we've come to know and love over the years. But after comparing ...

    The Hellbound Heart

    I bought this book because it was required for a college course. It was interesting and different, but I thought rather dreary. Throughout the whole book, the atmosphere is melancholy and the characters are predictable. Every character is obsessed with someone or something to an unhealthy level, and not one person seems to be mentally stable. This is definitely a fantasy. However, if you're looking for a totally new monster(s) to read about, Clive Barker did well coming up with the Cenobites. These are beings that live in an accessible, other world promising pleasure beyond your wildest dreams (pleasure to them is pain). What they look like, act like, their world, and what they create out of the lost people seeking more than what their unsatisfying lives have provided is descriptive & ...

    Great horror book

    I decided to get this book because I love horror. I like Clive Barker's films, tales, and art. The Hellraiser series are some of the scariest films I can think of. This book is only 164 pages with 11 chapters. I went through it in a few short hours and couldn't put it down. It's very graphic and gory, especially towards the end. I could see everything happening in my mind. It's one thing to read about the Cinobytes being in the character's home...it's another to dream about them being in your own!

    Strange, erotic, and a stellar find.

    A great book in great shape!
