The book is only 90 pages long, why don't you just read it?

he's afraid it will turn him gay.

Yes, its better than the movie.
>>8631544
It's fairly good, yes.

This is a good observation and a good recommendation. It can be read in a matter of, let's just say, "an afternoon", whatever your reading speed. You could either pirate it I suppose (it's a rather important piece of intellectual property from which Barker directly benefits while alive, and so this explains why I don't immediately find a text link), find it in a library, or you could block out whatever "an afternoon" is, go in a local Barnes and Noble or somesuch (they tend to have a copy in stock), literally sit down, read the whole book, put it back on the shelf, and walkt out having read the whole book.

It's not particularly gay. there are multiple "straight" male-female interactions. It's more themes of incest, in addition to the Lovecraftian SM stuff.

I don't agree but this is basically a moot point inasmuch as the two are so similar, and by design: Clive Barker is the only person that I'm aware of who has as his /primary/ job: "writer of fiction", and then himself successfully /directed/ a (relatively given the budget and his inexperience) competent film version, being his own adaptation of his own original source text, And later saw that film go on to be acknowledged as a new classic in the genre (it is).

It's pretty much exactly the movie for better or worse. Also a variety of bells and dins
i like it, well written for horror. Weaveworld is a nice big escapist fantasy as well.
Yes, it's good. And only the length of a Goosebumps book. Win-win.

Couple of months ago, my girl and I got together with a mate from college with whom we like to watch old horror movies like Evil Dead and so on. We picked Hellraiser, expecting it would be a cheesy old bloodfest.
It was one of the darkest movies we ever saw. So yeah, if the book is anything like the movie, definitely read it.

Is the Thief of Always his best? Imajica is too strange.

> in denial about Clive Barker's sexual orientation
It's like a Horror movie based on a bad book turned into a bad book by Clive Barker, so four layers of shit.

its pretty universally considered a good horror book. If you don't like horror and/or have no coherent argument...go back to pretending you've read the Illiad in Greek?:)
go wild.
