Hellbound Hearts

Hellbound Hearts is a 2009 anthology of short stories set in the world of Clive Barker's Hellraiser.

It was edited by Hellraiser expert Paul Kane and his wife Marie O'Regan.

[6] HorrorNews.net's Adrian Halen praised it for not having a short story approach with endings but instead deeper looks into those who summon the Cenobites.

[7] David McWilliam of Strange Horizons enjoyed the book, expressing that "despite the occasional misstep, Hellbound Hearts serves as a testament to the visceral, otherworldly impact of the scarified, magisterial Cenobites and the seductive mystery of the puzzle box that summons them, which are used as archetypes robust enough to withstand extensive reconfiguration and reimagining.

For the most part, these stories breathe new life into a well-worn franchise and serve to flesh out an as-yet barely explored mythology".
