Came in to update the currently reading list to reflect what I am actually reading these days. I finished this one. Click the link to read my full review of this.
This book was amazing! I honestly hold my hands up to the fact I've never personally fully read one of Clive Barker's written works. I reached half way with book's of blood and gave up So when I picked this up on my libraries, digital book section I wasn't expecting much. Oh, How wrong I was.... It'...
Synopsis: Frank Cotton's insatiable appetite for the dark pleasures of pain led him to the puzzle of Lemarchand's box, and from there, to a death only a sick-minded soul could invent. But his brother's love-crazed wife, Julia, has discovered a way to bring Frank back, though the price will be bloody...
This is one of my favourite books by Clive Barker. I saw the film before reading the book - a truly terrifying experience for a 10 year old girl, lol. This book is very similar to the film.

As I prepare to settle down and immerse myself in the long-awaited literary spectacle that is The Scarlet Gospels, I am going back and revisiting the original appearances of Pinhead and Harry D'Amour. As brilliant as Doug Bradley and Scott Bakula were in their respective screen roles, I want to reca...

I do, however, recall laying it down and saying, "I need to find more from this ...
