A baroquely imagined and totally unexpected original take on such well-worn topics as Hell, libraries, and the difference between what never was and what never will be. A new voice rises in the jewel-toned arena of Valente, Gaiman, and Funke. An erudite and engaging pleasure cruise through Hell. A book lovers’ book a supreme and masterful concoction that makes fresh fiction out of dusty Dante and boring Bible bits. An unforgettable, crave-worthy experience. The read is rich and robust, the prose has layers upon layers, and the characters melt like ganache upon the tongue.
