The Hellbound Heart

Abridged Edition Read by the Author

De: Clive Barker

Narrado por: 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.

The Hellbound Heart

Great if you like horror and need a short book for a short road trip

Beautifully grotesque!

This book is perfection. It’s a treat from beginning to end. It a modern classic that every horror lover should read.

Pleasantly Surprised

I've not seen Hellraiser (yet), but always thought of it as a cooky 80's film. But this story is amazing, and well-worth the listen. A wonderful, twisted universe delivered in a clear and believable way. Highly recommend.

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!

I love hellraiser !!!

Saw hellraiser 1 , when it came out in theatres as a kid! First horror movie in I saw in a theatre !! Loved it !!!! Let such and impression on me. Thank you Clive Barker !!!! You're a genius indeed! Great imagination !!!!!!!!!!!!! Ps Chatterer is my favorite cenobite!!!

Imagination is a great compliment to the 80s movies

The movie Hellraiser is 80s gold, but the book that started it all uses your own imagination to expand that world in a new way. Also the reading of it has a haunting quality that I loved!
