Oof Frank, you horrible demonic being. That was intense but such a good story. Super fast read, I finished it in one day! Clive Barker sure knows how to write a horror story.

The ultimate in grotesque body horror that inspired Clive Barker‘s Hellraiser movie series. Well written and truly horrifying, a must read for horror fans. 5⭐️

A quick, sometimes beautifully written novella that contains a vast mythology. Barker‘s work is fascinating, and it is now difficult to separate it from the movie franchise it spawned. The movie varies only in a few places from the book, so it was impossible for me not to picture the actors as we read. I want to read more Barker!

TrishB Wrote some amazing books 👍🏻 11mo
Michael_Gee @TrishB I have the 3 volumes of Books of Blood as well as the Damnation Game on my shelf. What would you recommend (of those or others)? 11mo
TrishB Those are the strictly horror ones- after those he goes off more into fantasy horror- I would go with Weaveworld then The Great and Secret Show and Everville. 11mo

Michael_Gee @TrishB 👍👍👍 thank you! 11mo
Reggie I 2nd @TrishB. One of my favorite books ever is The Great and Secret Show. Later in life Clive goes to a dentist and gets toxic shock. He spends the next 3 months in a coma and has I think 2 heart attacks. On a podcast he describes having this crazy nightmare and I thought to myself, that‘s straight out of The Great and Secret Show. 11mo
TrishB @Reggie it definitely is! 11mo
Michael_Gee @Reggie oof, scary! I will add that one to my TBR for sure. 11mo

Short, thrilling, exciting and filthy. One of my favorite horror stories that started a movie franchise with 9 nonsense sequels with another one coming out just recently. Check out the Mind books podcast ep. 21 where we had a lot of fun discussing this book as well as ALL the movies that I unfortunately watched: https://bit.ly/3BpeXFg

This was a fun read, but it felt more like fan-fiction than an original novel. The build-up was good, but I rolled my eyes when they revealed the “big bad.” And the fight at the end felt like it was inspired by the battle at the end of the Harry Potter series.

One of my all time favorite horror movies. Watched this late the other night with the boyfriend. I keep meaning to read the novella that the movie is based on, maybe this year. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +11 pts

💁Husband: We should watch the new Hellraiser movie, here, watch this trailer.
💁🏻‍♀️Me: Sure, want to read the book first?
🙎Husband: That sounds fun!
Us, one week later: 😳😵😵‍💫

@Blueberry

ShyBookOwl 😂😂😂 I had a very similar experience a couple years ago. My husband and I realized we weren't sure we'd ever actually seen Hellraiser but I wanted to read the book first. When I was done I had no words, and was like, ummm yeah... we can watch it I guess maybe if u still want 😅 Afterwards, he was like, WHY?! And I was like, at least you didn't read the book!! 2y
NataliePatalie @ShyBookOwl I'm usually really into horror but all the sexual stuff in this book really turned me off! I guess if I'd done any research beforehand I would've figured this out sooner, buuuttt...🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
ShyBookOwl @NataliePatalie I'm with you 💯 It was very uncomfortable 2y
