Publisher's Summary
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, and 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.

A compitently written sequel to the film
the story here seems to be a sequel to the original Hellraiser film adaptation rather than the novella upon which it was based. The story is well written, although it is quite obvious that it is not in Barker's voice, as it can be somewhat heavy handed at times, and lacks the more insidious, disturbing beauty depicted in The Hellbound Heart.
as for the production of the audiobook, it improves as it goes along, but some of the early voice lines are delivered with very out of place inflection (for example, Frank Cotton sounds like a genuine, nurturing uncle, rather than a sinister sexual predator), and I swore I could hear the narrators chair squeaking as he shifted in it. These early inconsistencies took me out of the story, and I found it difficult to concentrate on until the 3rd act.
