A hitman, a hooker,
a homosexual kid, and a hobo suicide make the ultimate prison
break... escape from Hell itself! It’s Escape from New York meets
Jacob’s Ladder, by one of fantasy’s rising stars.
Four sinners die
and go to Hell, a twisted version of New York City, each to their
own torment. The four meet, and decide to make a break, guns
blazing. Before they manage to escape, they discover Lucifer himself
kept prisoner by the angel Gabriel, and in freeing him find
themselves facing an angel’s wrath. But when news of their attempted
escape gets out, the souls of the damned are transformed into a
rioting mob, and all Hell truly does break loose.
“Duncan’s writing
is fluent and powerful. He possesses an imagination capable of both
conjuring worlds and capturing the intricacies of moments.” –
Jeffrey Ford, author of The Girl in the Glass
Scottish author Hal
Duncan’s critically-acclaimed novel Vellum, one of the most talked
about debuts in recent memory, was a finalist for the World Fantasy
Award and the Locus Award.
