A review by ericthec
The Scarlet Gospels by Clive Barker
4.0
I like to read at least one Horror title before Halloween, then found it at the library.
I am a fan of Barker's novel Imajica but actually think the Hellraiser movies are just B-movies. But Pinhead and Harry D'Amour are great characters. This was a fun read, with plenty of action. I understand some of the old fans who have been waiting for this are not as happy. I think the character of Pinhead has transitioned over the years. Here he is a Priest in Hell. The worldbuilding in Hell is good and very visual.
