The Scarlet Gospels - Clive Barker
Details
Welcome to Hell... again!
As you might have already read from our June event page (https://www.meetup.com/The-Horror-Book-Club/events/221284720/), this summer marks the much anticipated return of one of modern horror's most loved/feared creations - the leader of the Cenobites himself, Pinhead.
To celebrate, for June and July we're having a double Clive Barker special!
In June we're discussing The Hellbound Heart (https://www.meetup.com/The-Horror-Book-Club/events/221284720/), the novella that inspired the 1987 film Hellraiser, and in July we're returning for more Pinhead high jinx with The Scarlet Gospels.

The book is not released until the 21st of May but you can pre-order it now from all good online and real life book shops, and it will be available as an ebook and audiobook.
Description from Amazon
The gates to Hell are open and something beckons... The last of Earth's magicians are living in fear. A Cenobite Hell Priest known as Pinhead is killing them off, gorging on their knowledge to enhance his own magical powers as part of a quest to take over Hell. Meanwhile, Private Investigator Harry D' Amour is fulfilling the final wishes of the dead, who communicate with his business associate, the blind medium Norma Paine. But while investigating one such case, Harry inadvertently opens up a portal between Hell and Earth.
When Harry's nemesis Pinhead emerges through the portal, a vicious battle ensues. After failing to enlist Harry to pen his Scarlet Gospels - the epistles chronicling the Hell Priest's grand coup - Pinhead instead captures Norma. Harry realizes he must go through Hell - literally - to save her.
