A Short Stay in Hell

A man is cast by an unfamiliar God into a vast, incomprehensible Hell - a labyrinth library of books containing the stories of every life ever lived. His only way out is to find the single book that tells his own story. But along the seemingly infinite shelves lies every possible combination of letters. Trapped within this maze of meaninglessness, the absurdity of existence becomes impossible to ignore. A life-changing, existential novella, Steven L. Peck's modern classic explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong. Readers are obsessed with A Short Stay in Hell 'WHAT THE HELL' 'My mind is absolutely blown... and I'm absolutely horrified' 'One of the most haunting, thought-provoking books I've ever read'
