It was only a thirty-foot driveway, but it stretched a quarter century into the past. I wanted to go to her side, walk her to the door.

If the following is too long to read/respond to, the meat of my question is: "Why does The Scarlet Gospels portray Cenobites as traditional demons when they were portrayed as extreme sadomasochists in The Hellbound Heart?"ĭid you always intend the Cenobites in the Hellraiser franchise to be traditional demons from a Judeo-Christian hell, as they are depicted in The Scarlet Gospels and the Hellraiser comic books you wrote fot BOOM?

I did like how that mindset played out over the dinner courses at the restaurant. I did like the intense look at the psychological mindset of the character named Paul. Koch did an excellent job of character description and with vivid word-imagery. They are not nice individuals, and their personalities play out within the pages. Koch wants the reader to feel the dislike, because it plays into the foundation of the underlying story. I did not like the characters, but that is okay… I don’t think the reader is meant to like them. I thought the message was well-stated within the behavior of the characters. ![]() ![]() I liked The Dinner, but did not enjoy it (there is a difference).
