Holocaust Hearts
Two hearts bound across fathomless distance, haloed in fire that will murder the world. A lot of devils are proud of Hell, but Silfer isn’t one of them. He’s bored with the torture and endless visceral depravity. He’s bored with infernal politics. He’s even bored with the charms of the lascivious succubus sisters – and that’s really saying something. He’s bored, he’s bored, he’s bored - and his secret, lonely heart is home to a fathomless longing. Up on Earth, Mara is drowning in muted grey misery. She hates her job restoring antique books at the local museum. She hates the house-flipping yuppies who’ve infested her neighborhood and made it so disgustingly trendy. She hates her busybody boss Kathy, who seems committed to making her life a misery with unwanted friendship. With a longing both nameless and consuming she dreams of something far beyond her daily banality. One day she receives a box of moldering books from the bowels of a faraway church. Nestled like refuse amongst the tomes are a series of loose pages made from calfskin – or something very like it. They speak to her in whispers and hellfire dreams. Unbeknownst to Mara, she’s stumbled on the lost pages of the Codex Infernalis Futuatoris, the most terrible book ever to be released from the gates of Hell. As Silfer seeks the book, his world collides with Mara’s, and their hearts become bound in a love that will forever devour them both – and have terrible consequences of the rest of the universe. From the combined pens of Elizabeth Bedlam, queen of offbeat erotic horror, and B.J. Swann, creator of the Aeon of Chaos, Holocaust Hearts is a black romantic comedy steeped in carnage, depravity, and total hilarity. You’ve never read anything like it.

'Truly a hellish tale crammed full of devilish delight!'
This is quite simply a wonderful, riveting, and utterly unique, lighthearted (or maybe more accurately 'light-soulled') romantic fantasy romp set on the three planes of possible existence, namely that of Heaven, Hell and mother Earth herself.
As Silfer hates devils and Mara hates humans, these two likeminded beings have so much gloomy twisted bitterness to share and enjoy. So, let the spectral union commence...but will it continue to grow, thrive and prosper or will it all just inevitably turn into a smouldering heap of ashes at the end of time it's very self?
A fantastic storyline with lots of great characters, all interacting and performing to make this a rare treat to behold. The action and backdrops are both masterfully detailed and descriptive and the gory comic horror elements are perfectly matched by the sexual antics and blasphemous language used by the two main leading participants. Gripping from start to finish.
Yes, it's hard to find the 'right words' that best describes this fun and original adult trip into the lands of pure fantasy but 'simply absolutely awesome' would not be far wrong.
Highly recommended and one not to be missed!

Man o man… this book was so awesome!!! Reminded me of a f’d up demonic hellish version of ready player one with all the old school references.
BJ and Bedlam are the 2 most intriguing extreme top notch horror authors together in one book and it was oh soooo good.
PS I loved loved loved the dead reference of Mayhem.
Imagine visiting hell cruising around… what would you do, see and hear??? Heaven and hell what and or who would you fight for

Two great authors writing one great, imaginative love story about love's ability to overcome all obstacles and inspire acts of deranged evil.

Holocaust Hearts is a dark romantic comedy written by the coolest writer in the world - Elizabeth Bedlam - and yours truly, B.J. Swann. It's full of carnage, chaos, and hilarity. There are tender romantic scenes that will make you swoon like an Ann Redcliffe heroine, and hot love scenes that will increase your laundry bill. The apocalypse has never been so entertaining!
