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.
