The Hellbound Heart

Abridged Edition Read by the Author

By: Clive Barker

Narrated by: Clive Barker

Frank Cotton's insatiable appetite for the dark pleasures of pain led him to the puzzle of Lemarchand's box, 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-though the price will be bloody and terrible . . . and there will certainly be hell to pay. This book is the basis for the blockbuster movie Hellraiser.

Amazing

I read this book many years ago and it is still awesome: I really enjoyed the narration of the book by Clive Barker himself.

Very good! Written and narrated by Clive Barker!!!

What a treat! This story was read perfectly by the man who wrote it. I say if you enjoy the stories by Clive Barker definately give this a listen.

One of the all time greats

Loved it. I listen to it on a 15 minute timer each night, roughly wrapping up each week to start again the next.

My heart is hell bound...

Barker's use of language is raw and real, bringing the story to life. Beautifully written, you become invested in Julia's story as the on going split of loyalties between Frank and Rory. Highly recommend, especially if you have seen the movie Hellraiser. Clive Barker truly wins with this physiological thriller meets paranormal with a touch of body horror.

Plot

The Cenobite voice kinda made me laugh lol but overall enjoyed the short story, nice work!
