About this listen

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?

Critic reviews

"This well-constructed tale will inspire many readers to seek out the original Divine Comedy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Most relevant

I read the original way back and it became one of my favourite reads. I've probably read it a couple of dozen times over the years and always wondered what happened to Alan after he climbed back down. I did enjoy this sequel, although not as much as the original as that had the benefit of being such a novel concept that kept you guessing about the setting almost for as long as Alan! My only complaint is the audio - the performance was as good as the original but there's a weird clicking in the background almost as if the sound engineer was chewing gum open mouthed for the entire recording. Apart from that it's definitely a book I'll return to more than once.

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.

Absolutely brilliant.
