THE FIRST LEVEL OF HELL

“Look into the abyss, and the abyss will look back into you.”--Friedrich Nietzsche
“Practice abysmal sins, and they'll weigh you down into the abyss itself.” (Unknown)

Sixteen-year-old Johnny Morris has been committing heinous acts the majority of his life—nearly everything short of homicide. For him, causing mayhem is the same as a fix is for an addict.

Everything soon changes on the day he gets into a fight with the wrong person. Johnny, the boy who blew up his neighbor's mailbox with an M-80, the boy who shot out windows with a BB gun just for a good time, wakes to find himself in another world...one that's red, hot, and filled with evil things whose only purpose is to make his afterlife a living hell. Forever.

Henry, another lost soul, befriends the newcomer and tells him good there may be a way out for him, if he hurries. However, escaping will not be an easy task. It will be a difficult, dangerous, and harrowing adventure. Can he do it? After being tortured, scarred spiritually, and chased by the damned? Or is it a lost cause? Is Hell really inescapable? Read and find out!

It will shock you!
It will disturb you!
It will give you nightmares!
Read it... at your own risk!

Horror novels and paranormal thrillers involving demons and the damned could not possibly get any more graphic. This is a new form of splatterpunk!

It was ok but not by much. I am thinking this is probably better suited to a younger less cynical age group. Would be great for the YA age group. The descriptions while excellent were still less scary than my average night terror. Perhaps that is part of the problem. While you can picture the places in your mind along with the inhabitants. I'm just very difficult to scare.
I did giggle at parts of this while thinking 'wait is this Supposed to be funny?'. At the ending I could only say "figures." Now I'm not saying it wasn't well written because it was and I didn't find a single spelling error or misused homophone(serious pet peeve mine).

Thought I'd add this story scared my 19 year old enough that she actually asked if she could sleep in my room with me. Now that's scared since I snore like a grizzly bear passed out drunk from eating fermented fruit. Who voluntarily sleeps next to that? I ended up outside after work at 4 am trimming branches off the tree next to her window that were and I quote "Freaking her all out!" Yeah, I still say this is a novel for YA age group.
