I don't read much. Well let me rephrase that, I don't really ever read. EVER. But I have picked up a book, and yes I know how they work too, lol. I just finished reading a pretty good one today, and I figure since I never talk about books I might as well as do so now. Yesterday night I picked up a book which one of my favorite horror movies, Hellraiser, was based on. Clive Barker's "Hellbound Heart" is 168 pages of some great writing. He is descriptive, and really makes his characters and his story come to life, ensaring you into it. For those of you who have not seen "Hellraiser" or read this book, which was written before the movie, which Clive Barker also did, it is a story about pleasure, and of course pain, and the forbiden desires we all have. It is about the forbiden fruit, and the limits we would, could, go to obtain that forbiden knowledge. But in this book the knowledge is not without consequence, fucked up consequence. The main characters, Frank and Julia, in this story both have desires they need fulfilled. Frank, wants Julia, and Julia wants Frank. But Julia is married to Frank's brother Rory, and she was only with Frank once right before the wedding, and Frank is dead, well sorta, and all he wants to do is get out. Both of them lost the lust, the appetite for what the real world has to offer. The two end up conspiring together to save Frank from Hell, and to save Julia from a loveless marrage. I don't want to say too much without ruining it, but it is a good read. I think I am going to go back to the store and get some more of Barker's shit, because he is an excellent writer. I mean he got my lazy ass to read, and my vision sucks ass. Maybe I will pick up "RAwhead Rex" that one looked good... |

Clive Barker is a good read. Finding a writer you enjoy is how people get hooked. LOL - With me it was The Hardy Boys many years ago. I used to read them under the covers with a flashlight. My parents could never understand why the batteries were always dead. The answers to every question ever asked can be found in books. Enjoy Jesse! XOXO Jack Take the road less travelled.

Welcome to the world of the book is always better then the movie. There is nothing worse then reading a good book then going to the movie version and finding it a total hatchet job.
