The story of what happened to Kirsty Cotton between the events of Clive Barker's
The Hellbound Heart and the start of
The Scarlet Gospels, the
Hellraiser: The Toll novella is a diverting, if not particularly memorable, addition to the Hellraiser mythos. It also retcons the events of another supposedly cannon sequel to
The Hellbound Heart,
the comic book series co-written by Clive Barker, which is the better story of the two.
Recommended for hardcore fans, but casual readers will find it baffling.
