Hellbound Hearts is a 2009 anthology of short stories set in the world of Clive Barker's Hellraiser. It was edited by Hellraiser expert Paul Kane and his wife Marie O'Regan.[1] The book features works by several authors.[2][3][4]
In his interview, Kane said that he is a longtime fan of Clive Barker and after writing his book The Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy he felt that someone should do something similar to the Hellraiser comics but in prose form, since the mythos of the franchise is so appropriate for it. Kane "mentioned the idea to Clive on the phone, who really liked it. He still owns the fiction rights to the original novella and the mythology created in The Hellbound Heart, just not the movie rights, so we came up with the notion of doing an anthology based in that world. He even said he'd do an original painting for the cover, which was brilliant of him".[5]
