Publisher Description

Pinhead returns to screens in Fall 2022 in an all new Hellraiser streaming series!

The Scarlet Gospels
takes readers back many years to the early days of two of 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 faces off against his formidable, and intensely evil rival, Pinhead, the priest of hell. Barker devotees have been waiting for The Scarlet Gospels with bated breath for years, and it's everything they've begged for and more. Bloody, terrifying, and brilliantly complex, fans and newcomers alike will not be disappointed by the epic, visionary tale that is The Scarlet Gospels. Barker's horror will make your worst nightmares seem like bedtime stories. The Gospels are coming. Are you ready?

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“If you’re a long-time Hellraiser fan like me, you will sure as fuck love this book! We get to see so much more of Barker’s supernatural universe, painting a clear picture of Hell and its creatures, cultures and tortures. Of course, “Pinhead”, or his actual name, the Hell Priest, is one of the main cast who takes us through the story for many a chapters. It’s such a unique story within an expansive universe, so yeah if you loved Hellraiser and the Hellbound Heart, and horror of course, you should definitely read this one too. I took out 0.5 stars because apparently dialogue is not Barker’s forte and sometimes they can feel a bit campy and movie-like, if that makes sense. And also, YES, there were, unfortunately, some minor plot holes and I wish we got to see more of Freddie and the reason WHY she warned Dale and Solomon against Harry?! It got me so intrigued, but—yep, she don’t show up again and that’s that. Overall though, such a fun read!”
