Well I have to join the chorus of dissension that other reviewers have raised here. If you have read Imajica, The Great and Secret Show and Weaveworld and are expecting anything resembling those excellent books, be prepared for a let down. It seems Barker's horror hiatus left him without the imagination he once wove throughout his works. The characters here are so thinly written and the scenery so blandly described that when reading the book you will eventually give up trying to actually visualize the story and just read it to finish it and be done with the thing. My impression of the quality of writing is that a seventeen year old aspiring author stole Barker's characters and attempted to finish this strand of his story. It reads absolutely nothing like the old Barker we all loved so much. The over the top gore and guts are still there but you don’t cringe anymore because the tension is missing in this gospel.The Pinhead character who fills the antagonist role talks like a bored off duty policeman and wields godly powers such that he can kill with origami swans and fart gas - not a joke people, you may want to read it just to laugh at the absurd plot gaffs. You get no sense of dread or fear from old nail face as he feels like a cardboard tiger 100% of the time even as he turns people and demons into chop suey. I will not get into the plot but suffice it to say, his motivations and reasoning fall short of anything remotely meaningful. It's like Barker took Joe Schmo off the street and said act like you can kill anyone and here wear all these nails on your face and this freaky leather sex outfit and don’t forget your favorite pet chain his name is Fishhook.Harry D'Amour barely shows up to the party in his role as The Guy Who Inexplicably Wins Everything and he brings with him a dreadfully boring self loathing like before, but apparently he lost any interesting qualities in the time since we last saw him. He comes off as a whiny wuss bag who spends more time complaining about his itchy tattoos then he does being concerned with oh I don’t know say an impending apocalypse? Then there are the other Avengers who include Tall Young Tattoo Guy whose sole power is he can produce a carpet full of assorted knives in addition to also having itchy tattoos (so he is one up on Harry). He frequently travels with his sidekick Angry Young Tattoo Chick whose power is being forgotten about by the reader. Don’t forget Short Old Guy who has prophetic dreams about important tasks he must fulfill like loitering in certain areas and stabbing Young Tattoo Chick. Finally Old Blind Woman who can talk to dead people and predict phone calls fills out the team.The story itself is actually not that bad though it’s a ghost of Barker’s former achievements, once you get over the weak and non existent characters you can see glimpses of what makes him a brilliant author. However, these are few and far between so if you have read all his books and liked most of them you probably should read this because it closes a major story line for Barker fans. Just expect to be let down somewhat if you are looking for the same from this book as you got in the past from him.
Remember when Pinhead spoke with the voice of a child, and there were jewels on the nails embedded in his face and head? Clive Barker seems to have forsaken his own creations in this eulogy for the Hellraiser series. This Pinhead is no elegant servant of Hell, this Pinhead is pure Hollywood. This is the Pinhead of one good movie and a string of horrible ones. He's vain, he's easily frustrated, he lets his temper and ambitions rule him, he bumbles. And the storyline bumbles along behind him and Harry D'Amour. Unlike the majority of Barker's other books, The Scarlet Gospels lacked beauty and eloquence, and doubled down on crudity, gross-outs and showed more than it told.
Sadly disappointing, but there were some cool environments and lore dealing with Hell and some other dark stuff. Unfortunately, it gets pretty rushed toward the end and a lot of the writing feels like someone trying to be Clive Barker, not actually Clive Barker himself. The first chapter is solid, I wouldn't say great, but definitely entertaining and creepy.From then on out, it keeps getting disappointing. There is an uplift in the middle of the book involving Hell, its landscape, some lore, the Order of the Gash and everything else, but it quickly falls apart too.The ending may be the worst. It's very poorly written, rushed and full of bad jokes and poor character dialogue.There's a bit of an epilogue that's okay, but the conclusion to Harry's story and his pals is cringe.
Other reviewers have done a good job of outlining the plot of the book, so I won't focus on that.For some time now, Barker has been saying that "The Scarlet Gospels" is a continuation of the original Books of Blood story "The Hellbound Heart." It isn't, though, in any way. The original story and the first two films looked at the use of pain and pleasure to achieve a transcendence of sorts, similar to the experiences of many BDSM and body modification practitioners. Mr. Barker has even stated on more than one occasion that he wrote the original story after spending time visiting BDSM clubs in the U.S. That was an intriguing thing to explore in a horror story (and movies) at the time, when BDSM was not as well understood by the general public.In the original short story, he stressed that the Cenobites had done all of their body modifications to themselves. The first Hellraiser movie was a bit different, but it still stressed the tension between hidden desires and general conceptions of morality. The second film (written and directed by others) introduced the idea of "Hell" and "Leviathan," but still held to the overall theme of forbidden desires. The subsequent movies were mostly just slasher-style flicks, unfortunately.The Epic anthology line of comics were continuations and extensions of the second movie, but did a great job (for the most part) of sticking to the themes and feel of the original short story. Subsequent series by other publishers have been a mixed bag and have strayed off in all sorts of directions.For me, the best work in the mythology has been in the original short story, the Epic line of comics, and the first two movies. I know that others tend to like the more monster/slasher feel of the other movies and/or the other comic lines. To each his own.Having said all that, "The Scarlet Gospels" doesn't fall into any of the pre-established continuities or themes in any way, shape, or form. Pinhead's character is nothing like anything shown in any other Hellraiser stories (in print or on film). He doesn't seek transcendence, and is not really a sadomasochist per se. He's just a murdering sadist. He has been reduced to a simple power-hungry demon in a relatively tame, boring Christian Hell. He isn't witty, clever, or thoughtful, and really isn't a very compelling character at all.There is no point in having Harry D'Amour in the story. He and the other "Harrowers" (a reference to a group in a couple of the comics lines) spend the whole book spouting sarcastic one-liners in increasingly unbelievable situations. As others have noted, the dialogue strongly resembles what you might find in an old episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There is nothing particularly horrific or scary to it.I have read just about every book and short story Clive Barker has written, and have been a fan since the Books of Blood first came out. This book is his worst, by a long shot. The writing level, plotting, characterization, etc. is far, far below his capability, and (to be honest) doesn't even have the same "voice" that characterizes the rest of his fiction. As a few other reviewers have said, it almost reads like he gave an outline to a ghostwriter and signed his name to it. Though I doubt that's what happened, I really can't fathom how he pumped out such an inferior book, even when you take into account the obvious heavy-editing it took to get it below it's original 1,000+ page count."The Scarlet Gospels" really comes across as a book that was written under duress by an author who didn't want to revisit any of it and had no idea of where to go with an idea he had been avoiding for a decade. That's a real shame, too, because Barker is a very talented storyteller and writer.
