Eternal torment?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Well, yes -- that's the place, in one very hot nutshell. But that's not all there is to the forbidding world beneath us. For a few millennia now, we mortals have imagined and reimagined hell in countless ways: as a realm of damnation, as an inspiration for highest art, as a setting for the lowest of lowbrow comedy. One might conclude that for all our good intentions to enter para- dise, we can't seem to get enough vivid details of its counterpart, hell. \u003cbr\u003e Provocative, colorful, and damned entertaining, \u003ci\u003eGo to Hell\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on a tour of the underworld that is both darkly comical and seriously informative. From the frozen hell of the Vikings to the sun-drenched Cayman Islands' town of Hell (where tourists line up to have their postcards aptly postmarked), from Dante's circles of hell to \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer's\u003c\/i\u003e Hellmouth, \u003ci\u003eGo to Hell\u003c\/i\u003e embraces our evolving relationship with the sinner's final destination, revealing how we truly think of ourselves in \u003ci\u003ethis\u003c\/i\u003e world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat's down below?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Meet HEL, the hideous, half-rotting goddess of the Viking underworld. \u003cbr\u003e Beware the Egyptians' AM-MUT, an unsightly mix of lion, crocodile, and hippo parts, and insatiably hungry for wicked souls. \u003cbr\u003e Visit JIGOKU, a Buddhist realm of eight fiery hells and eight icy hells: an all-you-can-suffer hot-and-cold buffet. \u003cbr\u003e Step into the INFERNO for a tour of Dante's nine circles of the damned.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50376505262353,"sku":"CIN1476725624G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1476725624.jpg?v=1750795234","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/go-to-hell-book-chuck-crisafulli-9781476725628","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
