“He had made a mistake opening Lemarchand‘s box. A very terrible mistake.”

An excellent example of a good horror story.

Clive Barker is a master of dark fantasy and horror. When he emerged on the scene back in the early 1980s with the domestic release of his short story anthology THE BOOKS OF BLOOD, American horror master Stephen King was quoted as saying, “I think Clive Barker is so good I am literally tongue-tied.:

I‘m not a fan of body horror, so we‘ll see how this goes. At least I‘m not usually squeamish about it.

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⭐️

Hellbound Heart | Clive Barker

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 👍🏻 3y

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)? 3y

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. 3y

Michael_Gee @TrishB 👍👍👍 thank you! 3y

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. 3y

TrishB @Reggie it definitely is! 3y

Michael_Gee @Reggie oof, scary! I will add that one to my TBR for sure. 3y

Hellbound Heart | Clive Barker

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
