Almost al Like Volume One, this collection reprints short stories from the HELLRAISER comics anthology series of the 1990's from Epic/Marvel Comics. Almost all of these thirteen stories by various creative teams stay true to the Hellraiser universe created by author Clive Barker. They capture the fear, creepiness and overall uneasy atmosphere that began with Barker's short story The Hellbound Heart and later transferred to the series of Hellraiser movies. However, nothing here matches the magic and shock value of the films, including "The Harrowing, Part Two: Insurrection" - - the story that Clive Barker wrote for this series.

Other stand-outs include "Babycakes" by Faye Perozich and Gerry Talaoc; "With My Lips"any John Rozum and Rod Whigham; and "Later" by C.J. Hendersonand Vincent Cecolini. ...more
