Summary: I want a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: I really want to know what happens with my favorite damned/demon couple!! This short novel is begging for a sequel. Imaginative, gripping, lots of action, creative and a cast of characters that you want to learn more about. Very interesting take on what Hell is really about. I enjoyed reading about the different demons and their origins, the creation of the Angels and the possibility of who God really is and what Hell has been created for (or at least Oblivion). There are definitely story threads that can be expanded upon for a great sequel. Great book that I enjoyed reading from beginning to end. Dylan scored big time and so did Mr. Thomas!
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly recommended!
Comment: This book is my definition of dark fantasy. It pulls you into a very imaginative version of hell that is as breathtaking as it is horrid. You really get an idea of what it would be like to live in hell, or at least Thomas' vision of hell, and every hidden corner of the underworld has something unique and creative that will linger in your mind for days. The story is a journal of one fallen soul, written on a book bound with another man's living flesh, and his journey from suicide to waking in hell to going to a school of the damned and then released into the wilds of hades. The part that is especially appealing is that there is no clear line between good and evil. Many of the damned seem to be good/innocent and many of the angels seem to be cruel/evil. Not to mention God Himself seems to be a dictator worse than Adolf Hitler.
It is an extremely fun read. I'd probably say it's even better than Matheson's "What Dreams May Come." Especially because the idea of hell being "pure evil" and heaven being "pure goodness" is kind of childish and uninteresting.
The highlight that probably tempted me to buy the book in the first place would have to be the love affair between the narrator and the female demon. What is a book set in Hades without one? It'll keep you reading.
Anyway, this book doesn't disappoint. From the purple forests of skeleton buffalo to the gigantic black iron buildings to the fields of human heads, "Letters From Hades" is a candy for your dreams and nightmares.

Summary: Literally a diary from Hell
Comment: Hell is a vast wasteland in which you can "die" over and over again, only to regenerate and suffer again. Demons are there to torture you and roving bands of angels often cause even more pain than their demon counterparts as they hunt humans for sport. Letters from Hades is a man's diary of his time spent in Hell, where he rescues a beautiful demon and falls in love with her. This book is not for the squemish, as many of the inflicted tortures are described in excruciating (no pun intended) detail. However, the book is well-written, imaginative, and a great read.
