"You look very confused when I say I'm just trying to help these lost souls make their way to Heaven," he said. "The reason you're confused is that you think I'm speaking metaphorically. Well, my dear friend, take it very literally. You see, I may have introduced myself as Asmodeus, but let me run off a few of my more well known aliases. Now, let's see, we have Mephistopheles, Beelzebub, Bafomet, Iblis, The Fallen One, Lucifer, The Morning Star, Lord of the Dark, The Devil, oh and my favorite; Satan."Face to face with Satan, Michael has awoken in the bowels of Hell with no memory of who he is, or why he has been damned.Hell, however, isn't what he expected. Rather than the fires of torment, he finds a hedonistic city of gambling, sex, murder and revenge.With the Devil as his guide, Michael embarks on a quest of self-discovery and self redemption. But will he get a second chance at salvation? And why is Satan helping him?Hellbound is a contemporary view of Hell, exploring today's idea of sin and religion, through witty dialogue and bursts of descriptive prose.Dark, funny and philosophical.
