About this listen

Hellraiser: The Toll tells the story of what happened between Clive Barker's iconic works Hellraiser and its literary follow up, The Scarlet Gospels. Written by Mark Alan Miller (Next Testament, The Steam Man), featuring narration by director Tom Holland (Child's Play, Fright Night), a full cast that includes Mali Elfman, Kasey Lansdale, Peter Atkins, Robert Parigi, Richard Ankles, Christian Francis, Joshua Holland, & Justin Vonderach, and original music by powerhouse composer Cris Velasco (God of War 1-3, Clive Barker's Jericho). Thirty years after Kirsty escaped from the clutches of the Hell Priest, Pinhead, and lived to fight another day, her life has never been the same. Every few years she fashions a new name, a new identity, and a new home for herself; She is a woman who is running from her past at all costs, which is why it comes as such a surprise when she receives a mysterious letter in the mail, addressed to the identity she's been running from over half her life.

Answering the letter's query, she begins a descent down a rabbit hole to the ultimate confrontation. Her actions stir something unnameable in the ether, and throw her into a game where nothing…not even what she sees in front of her very eyes…can be trusted.

With equal parts economy and eloquence, author Mark Alan Miller brings to life the beginning of the end as The Toll expands the Hellraiser universe, and shows that before Detective Harry D'Amour's adventures in The Scarlet Gospels, there was a first witness to Pinhead's infernal plan.

it was a decent little audiobook, almost a full audio drama with sound effects and a full cast. however I was disappointed they were making it a continuation of the films, not the Hellbound Heart novella

decent but also disappointing

I came across this book whilst searching for Hellraiser comics. The price of the book seemed really expensive so when I found it on Audible I immediately downloaded it. How disappointing. The narrator was good, the other readers were good too but the story is dire.
For a Hellraiser novella it just doesn’t go anywhere. I felt very much short changed after this. It should have been much better.

Not worth the read

I enjoyed the story but found the main narrator to be very poor. Their style of reading made it very hard to follow the story. That is a shame as the ‘actors’ were not bad. If they re-recorded this with a different narrator it would be so much better.

Good story but terrible narration

All the the different voices annoyed me but loved the ending when Harry was mentioned

The way the tied in the other book

Decent story, good tie in with the other stories etc. my only problem was the narration and sound quality. The sound quality feels like it’s come from a 1990’s .wav file. The narration was clunky and at times I thought it was AI generated with the unusual pauses mid sentence.

Disappointing narration
