Summary

Allan Carpentier escaped from hell once but remained haunted by what he saw and endured. He has now returned, on a mission to liberate those souls unfairly tortured and confined.

Partnering with the famous poet and suicide, Sylvia Plath, Carpentier is a modern-day Christ who intends to harrow hell and free the damned.

But now that he's returned to this Dantesque inferno, can he ever again leave?

Absolutely brilliant.

I fell in love with the book inferno many years ago and was ever so pleased to see it on audible. Then I found out there is a sequel, and this is everything you would expect. Dante's Hell is brought to life by the wonderful story, and the characters are brought to life by Tom Weiner. This is an absolute must to have in your library.
