A Short Stay in Hell - Paperback

by Steven L. Peck (Author)

A Short Stay in Hell - Paperback by Steven L. Peck is a thought-provoking existential novella about belief, eternity, identity, and the overwhelming search for meaning.

Soren Johansson is an ordinary family man, geologist, and Mormon who expects to be reunited with his loved ones after death. Instead, he awakens in a version of Hell ruled by an unfamiliar God. His only chance of escape is to search through an impossibly vast library and locate the one book containing the complete story of his life.

Blending philosophical fiction, speculative horror, and emotional reflection, this compact novel explores what happens when everything a person believed about the afterlife turns out to be wrong. It is an excellent choice for literary-fiction readers, discussion groups, and customers browsing a Pittsburgh bookstore for distinctive and memorable books. Pair it with book journals, pens and notebooks, or other bookish accessories and stationery gifts from the Pen & Page bookshop.
