Summary
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 master of horror
I first read this book when I was a teenager. I'm now in my 40s, and it's even better than it was the first time. Usually the opposite happens. Horror defined through a whole book of lacerating poetry. Clive is a genius of horror. Looking forward to the movie reboot now.

Great short story.
I hope Clive Barker gets his rights back one day and he can reboot the movie 'Hellraiser'.

Absolutely brilliant
I’ve always been a fan of hellraiser and have known about the book, just never found time to read it. I got this book for a recent holiday and it had me gripped, only wish it was longer.
I really enjoyed the narration and found it really well done. I can sometimes feel a bit cringe when readers do voices for the opposite gender etc but this was well done.
Recommend to any horror fan, especially those who love hellraiser!

A must read for any horror fan
The best horror story read by Clive Barker himself. It is so much better than the films. The descriptive of the Cenobites is exquisite.

Great Book
If you enjoy the Hellraiser franchise then this is a must listen. I slow crawled through it because it isn't long, but it's well worth a credit.

If you like the movie you will love the book!
Superbly read by Clive Barker. Even darker than the film and brilliant experience for Hellraiser fanatics. Highly recommended this one.
