Hellbound Hearts
Twenty-One Tales Inspired by Clive Barker's Hellraising Universe

Clive Barker's iconic masterpiece The Hellbound Heart, the novella adapted into the film Hellraiser, unleashed a new mythology of horror, brilliantly conceived and born of darkest imagination. Now, enter this visionary world - the merciless realm of the demonic Cenobites - in Hellbound Hearts, a terrifying collection of stories inspired by The Hellbound heart.

Featured here is the graphic work Wordsworth, from bestselling author Neil Gaiman and artist Dave McKean, who unlock an explicit way to violate innocence-one torturous puzzle at a time... New York Times best-selling author Kelly Armstrong logs onto a disturbing website for gamers, where the challenge is agonizing, and the solution is beyond painful. When his father disappears, an Oxford student return's to his family's mansion, where a strange mechanism in the celler holds a curious power, in a haunting illustrated work by Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola.

With a special foreword by Clive Barker, introduction by Stephen Jones, and afterword by Doug "Pinhead" Bradley, Hellbound Hearts is a must have for any horror and dark fantasy fan.
