CENOBITES ROCK Tapestry

"Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others." The Cenobites are extradimensional beings who exist in an extra-dimensional realm and are present in Clive Barker's writings The Hellbound Heart, The Scarlet Gospels and eleven Hellraiser films. They are also mentioned in passing in the novel Weaveworld by the character Immacolata, who calls them "The Surgeons." They can reach Earth's reality only through a schism in time and space, which is opened and closed using certain unearthly artifacts. The most common form for these artifacts is that of an inconspicuous-looking puzzle box called the Lament Configuration.
