Best-selling horror novelist Clive Barker had a rocky start with
the first attempts to convert his stories into a visual medium.
Directors and screenwriters turned the film adaptations of
Underworld and Rawhead Rex into something barely recognisable - and
box office failures as well. Consequently, when he approached film
companies about Hellraiser, Barker insisted that he be involved in
every step, including the direction. The resulting 1987 film has
become an undisputed horror classic, spawning a movie franchise
that to date includes eight films. This volume explores not only
the cinematic interpretations of the Hellraiser mythos but also its
intrusion into other artistic and cultural forms. Beginning with
the unconventional sources of Clive Barker's inspiration, the book
follows Barker from his pre-Hellraiser cinematic experience through
the filming of the horror classic. It examines various themes (such
as the undermining of the traditional family unit and the
malleability of the flesh) found throughout the film series and the
ways in which the representation of these themes changes from film
to film. The religious aspects of the films are also discussed.
Characters central to the franchise - and the mythos - are examined
in detail. Included is a foreword by actor Doug Bradley, who
portrayed the infamous Pinhead.
"Always an elegist, in the Vergilian mode, Kane touches
greatness here in the beautiful poignance of 'Third Parent, ' a
farewell to his late mother-in-law. Only a handful of American
poems in the last few decades perform the work of mourning so
eloquently. Kane is a meditative poet resigned to a kind of
faithless faith that longs for a transcendence not available to
it."--Harold Bloom
Paul Kane writes poems of heartbreaking beauty. Cerebral and
emotional in equal measure, "Work Life" contains his most personal
lyrics.
A recipient of Fulbright, Guggenheim, and National Endowment for
the Humanities fellowships, Paul Kane teaches at Vassar
College.

Terror Scribes is a satisfyingly diverse anthology, furnished with
nebulous, original tales guaranteed to set your teeth on edge and
give you bouts of gooseflesh. From the home-grown talent of Sue
Phillips to prolific US gore-hound Deb Hoag, from the satirists to
the psychopaths to the traditionalists, from demonic possession of
celebrities to masturbating werewolves, from hair-raising
fairytales to disturbing accounts of everyday terror, you will
shiver and gasp and question. We are not oblivious to the fear
Terror Scribes will evoke. Quite the contrary, we're advocates of
it . . .
