Clive Barker : The Scarlet Gospels - Signed US HB LIMITED First Edition
Signed by Clive Barker - signed by Ed Miller, artist, who has also remarqued each copy with a beautiful piece of unique art inspired by the book. Just two copies left, endorsed "EM", coming from the personal collection of the artist Edward Miller
Synopsis : The gates to Hell are open and something beckons... The last of Earth's magicians are living in fear. A Cenobite Hell Priest known as Pinhead is killing them off, gorging on their knowledge to enhance his own magical powers as part of a quest to take over Hell. Meanwhile, Private Investigator Harry D' Amour is fulfilling the final wishes of the dead, who communicate with his business associate, the blind medium Norma Paine. But while investigating one such case, Harry inadvertently opens up a portal between Hell and Earth.
When Harry's nemesis Pinhead emerges through the portal, a vicious battle ensues. After failing to enlist Harry to pen his Scarlet Gospels - the epistles chronicling the Hell Priest's grand coup - Pinhead instead captures Norma. Harry realizes he must go through Hell - literally - to save her.
In this long-awaited, epic horror novel, Clive Barker brings together two of his iconic characters — the long-beleaguered occult detective Harry D'Amour, and Pinhead — in a tale set on Earth and in Hell. In the author’s own words, it is “a HORROR NOVEL with the graphic violence and perverse eroticism of the most intense tales from the Books of Blood.”
This deluxe, signed, limited hardcover edition includes:
