Looking for pleasure in Hell

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2009
The Bottom Line: This is an exceptionally well written, gripping, horrifying and morbid tale. However, it could be too disturbing to some.

?No Tears, Please. It?s a Waste of Good Suffering.?

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2000
Review: Clive Barker?s 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart was the first look that the world at large had into the terrifying and intriguing world of the Cenobites. However, the early imagery that would be an influence to both the book and the movie can be...

Come To Daddy: Barker's Breakout Novel

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2009
The Bottom Line: I was a huge fan of this and was surprised by how much good stuff is jam packed in such a small package.
Review: I realize it's been a while since I've written another Clive Barker review, but I've been knee deep in not only homework, but addicted to non-fiction. My most recent foray into the Barker universe had me reading his most famous novel, The Hellbound...

Anyone who Reads this could tell this would make a Great Movie. (Updated 8/13/01)

Date of Review:  May 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: I can imagine how anyone reading this would see that this would make a great movie.
Review: "The Hellbound Heart" is a great short story turned into a very good movie. This could almost be a short story stuck inside of Clive Barker's "Books of Blood", like "Cabal" was. The first "Hellraiser" movie was a very literal translation of this...

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2000
Review: Clive Barker's book "The Hellbound Heart" is what inspired the gruesome, freaky, unique, and quite original horror film "Hellraiser", which inspired the hit movie series with four films so far. The movie "Hellraiser" really freaked millions of...

Pleasure As You Have Never Known

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend this book, especially before viewing the movie, it provides much more insight even though there are slight changes in character.
Review: Would you go to the farthest lengths to achieve ultimate pleasure, even if it meant pleasure as you've never known it, even when it means pleasure will meet pain? Some are desperate when life no longer has a taste; then come the regrets. This is the...

As always, the book far outdoes the movie

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: Fun, short read that is much better than the movie.
Review: I wasn't sure what to expect with a Clive Barker novella, to be honest I had seen movies with his name attached and had more often than not been let down. I picked this book up from a paperback swap site and was surprised at how short it was...
