If what we create is a reflection of us

During one of the lectures I attended in creative arts, I told the other students in the room a little detail from my personal experience. That the more personal to oneself a story is, the easier it becomes to write. I have also shared tidbits such as that I decide the theme of what I write before I begin writing. But this opens up a tunnel of thought that I think is worth exploring.

Hellraiser: the film, the story, and (some of) the sequels

In 1986, a novella called The Hellbound Heart was published. It was published by a company called Dark Harvest in an anthology series called Night Visions. It pretty much would have came and went all by itself under these circumstances, but its author, Clive Barker, somehow managed to put together enough financing to shoot a film adaptation that was released the following year.
