Hellbound Hearts by Marie O'Regan, Paul Kane
4.0
“We have such sights to show you..”
Hellbound Hearts is edited by Paul Kane and Marie O’Regan. It’s an anthology based on the infamous Hellraiser/Hellbound Heart mythos. This anthology contains several imaginative stories that will feed your need for some more evil from the Cenobites you know so well.
What is great about this collection is that although they all contain some aspect of the Hellraiser story, they each deliver on darkly twisted horror which will disturb you with gore and morbid writing. Some of these go to the very core of the mythos where others touch upon it. A few of the stories included are:
The Confessor’s Tale by Sarah Pinborough
Hellbound Hollywood by Mick Garris
Mechanisms by Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola
The Collector by Kelley Armstrong
Bulimia by Richard Christian Matheson
Wordsworth by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean
Mother’s Ruin by Mark Morris
Sister Cilice by Barbie Wilde
There are a lot more stories featured including an introduction by Stephen Jones, a foreword by Clive Barker and an afterword by Doug Bradley.
I did enjoy this anthology and I think fans of Clive Barker would too.
