A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck
4.0
bleak ass hell
kind of disappointed with the lack of interest in zoroastrianism itself, since that's the Hell they're in, but maybe that's due to the whiteness (anglo)ness of the characters in the hell? [ just seems like something our main character & the professor of hells would be interested in, yet we didn't engage with that religion at all so im a bit confused on that front ]
very simplistically written, but also incredibly horrifying, both for the blandness of eternity and endlessness and the creation of the christian hell by bored people trapped there.
