    Spent a few years looking for this book, happy to finally get it. It's more compelling and bit more twisted than I thought it would be. A must read for any hellraiser fan

  • Finally read the original Hellraiser

    Like the title of this review, I’ve enjoyed the movies but hadn’t gotten around to the book. The book reads well and quickly. It is a good story by a good storyteller (Wes Craven). He has such sights to show you!

  • Clive Barker, who could ask for more?

    Fantastic but short book that was the inspiration for the Hellraiser movie, Clive Barker tells a story like none other so it is great.
