A Short Stay In Hell by Steven L. Peck
5.0
This is a rather disturbing, thought-provoking novella. Read it in a single sitting. One of the most horrific hells I've ever pondered. I'm sure it will be in my brain until the day I die. Some parts reminded me of Peter Beagle's A Fine and Private Place, others of Orson Scott Card's short story "A Thousand Deaths." A good read, but don't expect a happy ending. It's about hell after all.
Available very inexpensively as a Kindle book.
Update: It's been nearly a year since I read this and I still find myself thinking about it. I originally gave this three stars because I didn't like the darkness, the subject, or the main character, but I'm going to have to raise my rating to five based on pure mind-bending power.
