    About this series

    Allan Carpenter escaped from hell once but remained haunted by what he saw and endured.

    He has now returned, on a mission to liberate those souls unfairly tortured and confined.

    Partnering with the legendary poet and suicide, Sylvia Plath, Carpenter is a modern-day Christ who intends to harrow hell and free the damned.

    But now that he's returned to this Dantesque Inferno, can he ever again leave?
