The Hellbound Heart is a horror novella by Clive Barker,
first published in November 1986 by Dark Harvest in the third volume of their Night
Visions anthology series, and notable for becoming the basis for the 1987 movie
Hellraiser and its franchise. It was re-released as a stand-alone title by
HarperCollins in 1988, after the success of the movie, along with an audiobook
recorded by Clive Barker and published by Simon & Schuster Audioworks. It
retains the gory, visceral style that Barker introduced in his series of
collected short stories The Books of Blood. The story focuses on a mystical
puzzle box and the horror it wreaks on a family which is unfortunate enough to
come across it.
