About this listen

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.

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.

Interesante, encantador y aterrador

Es una experiencia terrorífica que es algo distinta a la película pero también resulta ser algo nuevo si primero vistes primero la pelicula, te llena de intriga y lo mejor resulta ser el final y la reflexión final, la historia es suave y se desarrolla de buena manera y te deja asombrado de las cosas grotescas que hay, lo recomiendo.

Solid Fire

Absolutely fire. The opening and ending are so much better then the movie. And the engineer sounds awesome. The simple fact that Barker reads it himself just adds to how good it is

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!

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.
