Book Reviews of The Hellbound Heart: A Novel

Book Review: A fast read that I wish was longer.
Summary: 5 Stars

First I must say that I am an avid horror novel fan. I have read tons of Stephen King, a lot of Dean Koontz, a smattering of other authors like Bentley Little, David Wellington, Brian Keene and others. This is the first book of Clive Barker's that I have read and I have to say it did not disapoint. I only wish it was longer because I found the story of Lemarchand's puzzle box and the cenobites frightning and intriguing. The characters in this book are flat but amazingly that doesn't matter as you are drawn along to see what horrors Frank, Julia and the cenobites have waiting. This book casts a spell on you from beginning to end as it shows what evils and depravity lies in the human heart. I was drawn to this book because I have enjoyed Mr. Barker's movies and I am surprised how well this book was translated to film. I highly reccomend this book to any horror fans. It is a quick, easy and infectious read.
