Hellraiser: The Toll

This is a short story. It is a sequel to the movie, which is mostly equal to the first book. The recap at the beginning gave me high hopes. It set the story on track as a real sequel, acknowledging all the events that has happened before.

But then I kept waiting to see a good story, and the book ended. There is the beginnings of some possibly interesting plots here, but that's it.

I like the idea of humans finding a way to thwarts hell's plans. But they are just useless bystanders, both here and in the Scarlet Gospels. The author say they are the chosen ones, they have spells and special abilities. They know the occult, they have previously faced the enemy and came out alive. But nothing of that comes to any fruition.
