Review from The Hellbound Heart →
This is very much a visceral body horror story in a domestic setting. Clive Barker – who’s surprisingly eloquent, I might add – spares no detail. The first time a Cenobite spoke it startled me a little. Would recommend.
Dude, where I’ve felt obligated to deduct stars for shit-talk, I dont feel the need. This guy hates everyone equally. Literally, nobody is immune to the torrent of hate, so I find it hilarious, rather than disgusting (I only qualify this because I recently dropped a star and chastised an author about bringing politics into..
