Hellbound Hearts by Marie O'Regan, Paul Kane

2.0

When I first saw that this book was a collection of short stories inspired by the Hellraiser universe, I thought it would be an interesting read. Sadly, however there were more stories in here that I didn't care for than there were the ones that grabbed my interest. So many of the stories are simply an excuse to fill the pages with imagery combining sex and gore into a single action. Which is, I suppose, a big part of what the original novella The Hellbound Heart offered, but I was hoping for more plot based stories.

Perhaps, if that's what I want, I should simply write my own story set in that world. Hmmm...
