Dante’s Inferno in the Twenty-First Century …
A psychological and metaphysical thriller in epic poetic form about nearly dying of cancer and descending into a Dantean-type of Hell where both the dead and the soul-dead are each in their separate wards. Meet awful family members, dire friends, a dreadful boss, a wayward pupil and a murdering neighbour; plus, some infamous (and some contemporary) politicians, poets and philosophers all contributing to human misery in their self-righteous and mad words, actions and productions.
Let Dante take you through an odyssey in Hell just as he leads James, and meet not just real people but a cornucopia of mythological and Biblical characters whose presence will amaze and astound you – and yet will resonate with some of your own experiences, and throw a fascinating light on them.
“Imagine a spiritual Odyssey that is also an autobiography, an action adventure, a love story and a political satire.” -Anthony Watts, poet
“Riveting, horrific, terrifying... this pulled me in inexorably and forced me to keep reading, even through the pain. Dante would be proud.” -Amy Foreman
