Book Reviews of The Hellbound Heart
Book Review: Very good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched "Hellraiser" (the film this novella ended up being) several years ago, and I vividly remember the hideous graphic quality of the violence described on film. In the book, it's just as graphic if not more. Barker dabbles in hellacious imagery, torture, eroticism. It's a very short book but shockingly effective in its purpose of leaving the reader disturbed throughout the story's development, but at the same time anxious to see what will happen. For fans of horror written with style, this is the kind of book that needs to be on their bookshelf.Book Review: The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the stunning novella that brought Pinhead and the Cenobites known world wide from Hellraiser to life. Unfortunatly the masses are not as informed of this short story which is more than worth a read. It starts off heavy and while the main plot follows the drama that surrounds the main character and her husband's melodrama it unfolds into an epic tale that only Clive could bring to printed page. I highley suggest that if you have the means you take the initiative and buy this.

Book Review: King Who?
Summary: 5 Stars
The first thing that drew me to Clive's writing was the way the stories effortlessly flowed through his poetic words; something King could never accomplish. This story is as brutal as it is elegant. Within the walls of a London house, a family is literally torn to shreds. From one man's obsession to a woman's desires, to the evil of Frank to the ulta-shocking perversity of the Cenobites. Passion and hunger; pain and pleasure. Dare yourself to pick it up, but I'd double-dare you to put it down.Book Review: A must read for Clive fans.
Summary: 5 Stars
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. Remember what the nuns told you back in grade school-If you're not a good boy/girl you will go straight to hell. Well, here it is. Frank is your typical bad boy who goes a little too far down the path of the flesh and winds up suffering at the hands of demons. It may seem basic, but Mr. Barker always makes that trip to hell so fabulous. If you like Clive Barker, or if you're just into the horror genre, don't miss this one.Book Review: I Have Seen The Future Of Horror And His Name Is CliveBarker
Summary: 5 Stars
Clive Barker is the best imaginer of the macabre in the world. So far every Cive Barker noval I have read is so wonderful in all it's different forms I literally cannot get enough. The Hellbound Heart is a excellent read, and if your a fan of the film adaption of 'Hellraiser' then you will diffinitley love this book. Clive is great, he can take a sentence, and turn it into something compelling. A Must Read for any Barker fan. You wound regret it.
