The first installment of the Torture Trials series introduces a writer who was sentenced to hell by his own countrymen. He was then murdered to expedite his trip to hell, which took longer than expected and had biblical consequences. In an amazing feat of will, he returned from the prison of the damned, joined by a demon that helped him escape. Only by the grace of God is he able to battle demons as one himself without suffering the wrath of Satan. Throughout it all, the internal struggle he faces, deals with, and is burdened by as well as the turmoil tearing him apart spiritually but otherwise justifying his battle externally against the enemies he didn't even know he had until after he was dead is cleverly disguised to be indistinguishable from the reality that unfolds before him in this pulp fictionesque delivery of the first volume in the series. Layered with comedic and dramatic elements, this book is guaranteed to be a page turner for anyone who has battled demons and either won or lost.
