The gates to Hell are open, and an epic battle between good and evil beckons in Clive Barker's The Scarlet Gospels.
Earth's last remaining magicians live in fear as Pinhead, a Cenobite Hell Priest, hunts them down to gorge on their knowledge and enhance his own magical powers in a quest to take over Hell. Private Investigator Harry D'Amour finds himself inadvertently opening a portal between Hell and Earth while fulfilling the final wishes of the dead, communicated through his blind medium associate, Norma Paine.
As Pinhead emerges through the portal, a vicious battle ensues. After failing to enlist Harry to pen his Scarlet Gospels - epistles chronicling the Hell Priest's grand coup - Pinhead captures Norma instead. To save her, Harry must embark on a perilous journey through the nightmarish landscape of Hell itself. The Scarlet Gospels takes readers back to the early days of two of Barker's most iconic characters in a supernatural thriller that pits good against evil in a terrifying and suspenseful battle as old as time.

Clive Barker is a legendary author, filmmaker, and visual artist once hailed as 'the future of horror' by Stephen King. His Books of Blood series, films, comic books, art and his novella The Hellbound Heart - which first introduced the world to Pinhead and inspired the Hellraiser movies - have all amassed a global cult following and cemented their place in pop culture history. The Scarlet Gospels marks Barker's highly anticipated return to horror fiction.
