Nim is a master swimmer floating on waves of wet hope. His penance is to swim and carry, but his heart is held onboard a grieving ship in the aquamarine prison of her eyes. She is his sentence and he is hers. Will a mysterious humanoid jellyfish reunite the star-crossed lovers? This book contains graphic sex and violence, and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18. Praise: Punishment by Hope is a wildly poetic and surreal odyssey through sexual obsession, murder and retribution, set in a bioluminescent Dantesque world of fiery and aquatic horrors.-Barbie Wilde, Author (The Venus Complex, Voices of the Damned) and Actress (Hellbound: Hellraiser I) A dreamlike seascape of desperate wishes, and a nightmarish vision of love's life and death, this is a powerful, haunting tale.-Tim Lebbon, Author of Eden Punishment by Hope is a vivid and erotic fantasy mystery. Hofstatter weaves a memorable spell.-James Bennett, Author of Chasing Embers
