It was the book that inspired the movie Hellraiser.

I've read plenty of terrible books so it's no big deal if it sucks.
I am interested in the differences between the novel and movie though.

Anybody else get any new reads?

I actually got a package today too, two books - The World Without Us and The Drowned World. Both also recommended by /lit/ Anons, when I posted this picture in one of the "post an image and get recs based on it" threads. I'll be saving them for later though, I have some Shakespeare to read now.

I highly recommend you listen to the audiobook narrated by Barker himself. He's got a great voice, and there's low ominous music playing in the background that makes the whole experience that much creepier. Hellbound Heart is also written beautifully.
