I picked this up for a Halloween reading. I borrowed it via Interlibrary Loan through my library as well. Anyhow, fans of Clive Barker and Hellraiser will definitely like this one. It is a collection of short graphic novels by a good roster of authors. I saw it included Neil Gaiman, so that was the draw for me. Since there are different artists for the stories, you get a sampling of different art styles, which I think will appeal to the more visual readers of graphic novels. I liked it, though I am not a fan of the Hellraiser series (I liked the first film ok, but I disliked the sequels, quality just went downhill it seems). However, this is much better than the films in my view.
This comic compilation is part of a series. Not sure I will seek other volumes; it would depend on whether I go on another horror reading spree or not anytime soon. On another positive note, it has made me curious, and I may seek other Clive Barker works to read. We'll see.

Very hit and miss. Probably more miss than hit. Still, Gaiman and McKean's entry is pretty good, if lacking depth.
