The first novel in ages from the master of horror and cinematic baroque excess. Cenobite Hell Priest Pinhead is killing off the last of the Magicians and Harry D'Amour, the private investigator and his sidekick blind medium Norma Paine are drawn into one of the killings and inadvertently open a rift between hell and the real world. In the titanic battle between good and ultra evil there is no holding back and Barker is at his best in unimaginable scenes of devastation and Hieronymous Bosch-like madness. Harry literally has to travel through hell and back again when Norma is lured to the depths in a twisted no holds barred parody of Orpheus and Eurydice. Gruesome, madly entertaining, eminently picturesque in all sorts of crazy ways, this is Barker in fifth gear and a set of adventures his fans will relish. ~ Maxim Jakubowski
The Scarlet Gospels, an instant New York Times bestseller--Pinhead returns to screens in Fall 2022 in an all new Hellraiser streaming series!--takes readers back to the early days of two of Clive Barker's most iconic characters in a battle of good and evil as old as time.
The long-beleaguered detective Harry D'Amour, investigator of all supernatural, magical, and malevolent crimes, is back--and about to face off against his formidable and intensely evil rival, Pinhead, the priest of hell. Bloody, terrifying, and brilliantly complex, fans and newcomers alike will not be disappointed by Barker's horror, which will make your worst nightmares seem like bedtime stories. The Gospels are coming. Are you ready?
