The Scarlett Gospels
Clive Barker
I got into Clive Barker on a vacation in Mexico where I read all 4 volumes of The Books of Blood. I had to check out more of his work and after some googling found out he was the inspiration behind the Hellraiser movies. This is of course the HellBound Heart (which I have read again and again ever since)
It took me a while to pick up the Scarlett Gospels but I am so glad I did. It was action packed, gory, graphic, interesting, everything I was looking for and a few things I wasn't expecting.
Super Short Summary
Harry D'Amour is a supernatural detective he squares off with Pinhead and Hell in an epic battle for earth and the souls of all humanity.
I don't want to spoil anything, and less is more in this case. I think Harry is one of the main characters in some of Barkers other novels and I found out there are other short stories to go with specific Cenobites (there are action figures as well) I would love to read those and I think that some of theses stories would make amazing comic books so fingers crossed that someone makes one!
If your a horror fan and haven't read Barker's work you have to check it out
