Product Description
From Amazon
Clive Barker is widely acknowledged as the master of nerve-shattering horror. The Hellbound Heart is one of his best, one of the most dead-frightening stories you are likely to ever read, a story of the human heart and all the great terrors and ecstasies within.

Review
Praise for Clive Barker: 'Passionate and ingenious... A ride with remarkable views' Times Literary Supplement 'A powerful and fascinating writer with a brilliant imagination... Clive Barker is an outstanding storyteller' J G Ballard 'Barker's fecundity of invention is beyond praise. In a world of hard-bitten horror and originality, Clive Barker dislocates your mind' Mail on Sunday 'Barker is much more than genre writer' New York Times Book Review

I read this book years and years ago and still won't forget reading it. I wish I'd not lost it and consider buying it again. It is over the top and is straight from hell, right into your heart.

A well written novella with good description and interesting story, it is very close the to hellriaser movie without many changes in the general story its a good read for those who wish to learn more about Clive Barkers dark fantasy world.
Format:Paperback
To me, it does not compare to Mister B. Gone but it is still a great book and a new way to appreciate the movies.

Good, but not satisfying...
Good stuff as far as conservative horror goes, but lacking the substance, cleverness, or imagination to produce a memorable experience. VERY quick read. Read more
