"Hide under the covers when you read these three stories. Each one is just as macabre than the one before it ... the evil in these stories is very hungry." Betsy S
"... packs a heck of a punch, with vivid writing that sucks you right into the story from the very first page … Penn manages to perfectly portray the sin of temptation, the longing for an easy fix, and the very human trait of justifying doing that which we know is wrong." GamesFiends

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book does what it says on the tin. :-)
Three short stories with lots of religious symbolism, inspired by Dante’s Inferno. They’re called “short stories” because they are self-contained, and I suppose you could read them independently of each other, if you really wanted to. But they follow on from each other, so you really should read them consecutively, if you want to really get a feel for the world they describe.
I particularly enjoyed the author’s note at the end, where she talks about her inspiration and motivation for writing each story, and also unpacks much of the symbolism she used.
If you enjoy the J.F. Penn’s writing, and her philosophy and outlook on life, I think you’ll enjoy these stories.
