Tortured Souls: The Legend of Primordium is one of the most vividly imagined, tightly compressed novellas ever written by the incomparable Clive Barker. At once violent and erotic, brutal and strangely beautiful, it takes us into the heart of the legendary “first city” known as Primordium, the site of political upheaval, passionate encounters, and astonishing acts of transformation.
 
Lurking at the edges of this extravagant tale is the ancient entity known as “Agonistes,” who accepts the pleas of selected “Supplicants,” transforming them, through a combination of art, magic, and pain, into avatars of violence and revenge.
 
The story begins when a freelance assassin named Zarles Krieger commits a routine murder-for-hire. This act will lead him to two life-altering encounters, one with the daughter of his victim, the other with Agonistes himself. This conjunction of the human and the inhuman stands at the center of this instantly absorbing creation.
 
With great authority and equally great economy, Tortured Souls expands to become a portrait of Primordium itself, with its hierarchies, its hidden mysteries, its shifting power structure, and—most significantly—its indelible cast of characters. A perfectly controlled example of what Barker calls “the fantastique,” Tortured Souls is something truly special, a story whose imaginative reach and sheer narrative power are evident on every page.

A single volume of the six separate pieces of the novella will be published by Subterranean Press in February 2015.[1]

The following official statement appeared on Revelations, Clive Barker's official website: “Clive is delighted to announce that St Martin's Press has acquired world English rights to publish The Scarlet Gospels, his upcoming novel featuring Pinhead and Harry D'Amour." St Martin's Press anticipates a May 19th, 2015 publication date.[2]

Synopsis: IT WILL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART
 
Stephen King was once quoted as saying: “I have seen the future of horror… his name is Clive Barker.” That future became reality when, in 1987, Barker unleashed his directorial debut Hellraiser – launching a hit franchise and creating an instant horror icon in the formidable figure of Pinhead.
 
Barker’s original Hellraiser, based on his novella The Hellbound Heart, follows Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) as she comes head-to-head with the Cenobites – demonic beings from another realm who are intent on reclaiming the soul of her deviant Uncle Frank.
 
Picking up immediately after the events of the original Hellraiser, Hellbound: Hellraiser II finds Kirsty detained at a psychiatric institute and under the care of Phillip Channard, a doctor who abuses his position to realise his own dark aims. In Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, a reporter investigating a mysterious death at a nightclub finds herself in the way of Pinhead and the Cenobites, who plan to bring their horrifying world into our own.
 
Coming at a time when the genre was degenerating into self-parody, Hellraiser offered a fiercely unique vision that approached its horrors with a far greater degree of seriousness than many of its contemporaries.. Along with its sequels, the Barker-produced Hellbound and Hell on Earth, Arrow Video is proud to present some of the most terrifyingly original films in the history of horror in brand new 2K transfers.

Last week, it was revealed that a new HELLRAISER film is shooting in Oklahoma under the title JUDGMENT, without Doug Bradley as Pinhead. Now a little on-line digging has revealed who some of the other denizens of hell are, and who they’re terrorizing.
 
HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT, which co-stars NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET fave Heather Langenkamp, is currently rolling in Oklahoma City and Guthrie under the direction of writer and veteran HELLRAISER makeup FX creator Gary Tunnicliffe, who exclusively discussed the sequel with us here. (The filmmaker had previously attempted to raise money for the project under the title JUDGEMENT on Kickstarter; the image above comes from that page, and he talked about that incarnation here.) We went looking around for some more details on the new HELLRAISER and came up with a casting notice over at the Oklahoma Movie Makers Facebook page, which provide much more detail on the sights Tunnicliffe has to show us. It appears he has some pretty perverse stuff on tap, and that things do not end well for a character named Watkins…

he Hellraiser series of films are widely considered classics of modern horror. With a rich and intricate mythothogly, Hellraiser has enthralled audiences with the blood-soaked world of Pinhead, the Cenobites, and the Lament Configuration.

Within the Hellraiser universe, the Lament Configuration it is the key to the gates of Hell itself and the summoner of the Cenobites. Now, for the first time ever, it is recreated as a working puzzle. Featuring artwork based on the designs of Philip Lemarchand, the prop-sized square puzzle rotates on both the X and Y axis with an almost supernatural smoothness. With 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible combinations, even Dr. Channard would find himself bedeviled in a quest for the solution.

Préco ouverte ici ou sur amazon.com, sortira en octobre 2016.
