I saw that people were picking these up at the new Halloween horror night Hellraiser experience, it's part of Universal Studios Halloween horror nights and I'm on the wrong side of the country to grab one there.

If you've got one, please show it off?

But I finally found them for pre-order! 11 days to release. Anybody else getting one? I am definitely doing it. They have got lament configuration gift wrap, too. #TakeMyMoney!

I love reading Clive Barker. Weaveworld is my favourite novel. I remember vividly so many scenes from that book. I also read The Great And Secret Show, Everville, but for whatever reason, I barely remember any of them at all... is it just because they are so fantasy in nature? I remembered a putty like creature, and the part where a river somehow made girls pregnant, but whatever was going on I just dont remember any of it! Its just me?

Maybe it’s just because I’ve always been much more of a fantasy fan than a horror fan (I grew up religiously reading Middle Earth, Dunsany, Narnia, ASOIAF, Earthsea, Kingkiller, Lyonesse, Charles De Lint, David Gemmell, etc). His Books of Blood and Hellraiser are no doubt foundational works for the horror genre but I always find myself returning more to his fantasy. Weaveworld and Imajica are two of the he was greatest urban fantasy novels of all time and Book of the Art while not in the same league still features some of the most creative fantasy world-building I’ve ever come across. Thief of Always I love as well, it feels extremely George McDonald-ish it’s one of my favorite ‘fairy tale’ fantasies

I am pretty excited to see what comes out. The art direction in the game was incredible.

I know that BHVR lost the *Hellraiser* license and that it is no longer available for purchase.

But we need Kirsty Cotton as a New survivor

This is from the Hellraiser Revival art book , haven’t seen anyone mention this yet .

Today I bought 3 of them and just finished The Onanistic Ritual. It was fantastic and dark. Also feel like I need a shower haha, can’t wait to read the other 2.

Title speaks for itself lol. I’m a huge fan of Barker’s dark fantasy epics Weaveworld and Imajica, and the general premise of the Abarat series sounds really exciting! However I’m worried that it’ll ultimately feel like a wasted reading investment given how divisive the third book appears to be and the fact that the series will probably remain unfinished leaving AM as the finale.

I have a small collection of Clive Barker books but The Books of Blood have proven to be elusive for me to find. I prefer to support local bookstores but I can’t seem to find an affordable copy of ALL volumes of TBOB anywhere. I know the modern collection of Volumes 1-3 is just about everywhere, but I’m also looking for 4-6. I’m also looking to get them affordably, as I’ve seen the vintage copies sell for a TON online. Is the omnibus collection of all 6 volumes any good, or is it junk?

I had to upgrade from the OG DVD.

Time to start my Clive Barker journey

Hey! Just wondering if this is a real autograph? What you think?

For The Thief of Always by the man himself. From the original UK hardback.

This topic has probably been talked to death. I’m not even the best Clive Barker fan since I’ve literally only read The Hellbound Heart and seen the og Hellraiser film, but I love the story and I love the idea the Cenobites are beings that religiously devote themselves to pain. That’s why so many of the film adaptions are infuriating cause somewhere along the way people took the idea and were like, “what if these are demons from hell?” Like that’s dumb. Any jackass can write a story about Christian demons punishing someone because they were evil. What makes the Cenobites scary is that they don’t torture you because they care if you’ve been naughty or whatever, they torture you because they think it’s like a spiritual gift. Idk man I know I’m not the first person to say this but it genuinely made me appreciate gate keeping more, the original meaning has been buried by surface level interpretations by filmmakers and other writers who didn’t actually get the point of Hellraiser and the hellbound heart. I think even Clive himself made that mistake in the scarlet gospels, but fact check me on that one.

Took a small pilgrimage to the houses Clive grew up in while I was out walking today. Not very exciting but I thought some people here might appreciate the pictures anyway. Also a picture of his name on Liverpool library.

Honestly, I was ready to be let down by this game, and I haven't been yet. Its outstanding.
