Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go by Dale E Basye

When Milton and Marlo Fauster die in a marshmallow-bear explosion, they get sent straight to Heck, an otherworldly reform school. Milton can understand why his kleptomaniac sister is here, but Milton is--or was--a model citizen. Has a mistake been made? Not according to Bea Elsa Bubb, the Principal of Darkness. She doesn't make mistakes. She personally sees to it that Heck--whether it be home ec class with Lizzie Borden, ethics with Richard Nixon, or gym with Blackbeard the pirate--is especially, well, heckish for the Fausters. Will Milton and Marlo find a way to escape? Or are they stuck here for all eternity, or until they turn eighteen, whichever comes first?

★ The author' umpteen clever allusions . . . make this book truly sparkle.--Publishers Weekly, Starred

For a variety of media and organizations, Dale E.Basye has authored stories, scripts, articles, reviews, and lies. He was a film reviewer who won multiple national journalistic honors and produced Tonic, a weekly arts and entertainment publication. He was also the musical driving force behind a number of bands, just a handful of which had titles fit for a credible Web site. To be absolutely honest (or whoever), you'd be reading this biography on the back of a CD instead if any of those bands had been any good. Dale has this to say about his second book: There is a moment when you don't completely appreciate what you have, even if there are plenty of models, celebrities, and the curiously renowned rubbing their faces in what you don't have.

You'd give anything to get what they have, and it gnaws at you from within, as if you'd swallowed a small, ferocious shrew--which you haven't, to the best of your knowledge. That's how hell is. And, regardless of what anyone tells you, Hell exists. This is a true story.

Or, at the very least, as real as anything like this can be. Dale E.Basye lives in Portland, Oregon, where he has to deal with grizzly bears, nettled beavers, and intermittent Wi-Fi signals on a daily basis.
