The Hellbound Heart classic edition

Description from Suntup Website


The Suntup edition of The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker is presented in three states: Classic, Numbered and Lettered. The editions measure 6” x 9½” and feature fourteen new color illustrations by the author, and an afterword by Phil & Sarah Stokes.


All states include a reproduction of Kirk Reinert’s cover art from the first standalone paperback edition of 1991. In addition, the Numbered and Lettered states feature a fold-out of the Classic edition dust jacket art by Dave McKean. Bonus content includes sketches of the Cenobite by Clive Barker, as well as scans of pages from the handwritten and typewritten manuscript.


The book is designed, cast in metal and printed letterpress by David Wolfe at Wolfe Editions in Portland, Maine on Mohawk Superfine, mouldmade Somerset Book and handmade Saint Armand papers. The typeface is Monotype Plantin. The titling faces are Castellar designed by John Peters and Caledonia designed by W.A. Dwiggins. The press work was accomplished on a Nebiolo cylinder press.


Limited to 1250 copies, the Classic edition features a double-sided dust jacket illustrated by Dave McKean, with Kirk Reinert’s first edition artwork gracing the reverse. Bound in full cloth with a foil blocked cover, each copy is signed by Clive Barker, Dave McKean, and Kirk Reinert. Printed letterpress from metal type on Mohawk Superfine, the volume is housed in a cloth-covered slipcase with endcaps and foil blocking on the spine and sides.
