The Scarlet Gospels is a 2015 horror novel by author Clive Barker which acts as a continuation to both his previous novella The Hellbound Heart (which introduced his popular Cenobite characters that then starred in the Hellraiser franchise) and his canon of Harry D'Amour stories. The book concerns the Hell Priest, the demonic Cenobite nicknamed "Pinhead", and his efforts to gain power. Occult detective Harry D'Amour must journey into Hell to rescue his friend and stop the Hell Priest's plans. The book was the first in which the Hell Priest was officially given a name by Clive Barker, who disliked the nickname 'Pinhead' given his character by others.

3.5-4/5

Le premier livre Hellraiser m’avait totalement terrifié et glacé, je m’attendais de même avec ces Évangiles Écarlates que je n’ai pas osé ouvrir pendant des années. Mais j’y ai plus retrouvé un Clive Barker de Abarat, versant dans sa mythologie fantastique plus qu’ horrifique, se réappropriant son personnage de Pinhead une bonne fois pour toute.

J’ai dévoré ce roman au final, passé cette inquiétude d’avoir peur, et passé un bon moment!
