Book Series In Order » Authors »
I remember the shock I got watching Hellraiser for the first time in 1990. Not what I expected. It made me an instant fan. After a while I realized it derived from a book, and I eventually found The Hellbound Heart – and thoroughly enjoyed it. But that was after I’d found Weaveworld, and shortly before I found Imajica, which in typical fashion, I started with the second book. I’m a big Tolkien and Moorcock fan, and always will be, but not even Stephen King touches the nerves Clive Barker does.
Your book Weaveworld is my absolute favorite. I judge all I read by it. I wish it could be a movie, but I know, no one could do it justice. Just wanted you to know. Also, since my daughter was 3yrs old, we’ve been watching your horror. Our faves are pinhead and we’d love to know where we can get a puzzle box. Thanx bunches. Without wax, Launa Morrison
