The classic tale of supernatural obsession from the critically acclaimed master of darknessāand 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 of body horror provided by Clive Barker. The Hellbound Heart is one of Barkerās bestāa 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, a hellish artifact that summons the Cenobites, 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 from this dark fantasy realmāthough the price will be bloody and terrible . . . and there will certainly be hell to pay. A great read for spooky-season nightsA perfect addition to any Halloween reading list
