An action-packed road trip through the planes of the afterlife. "A galloping, worlds-spanning adventure that Dante himself might have enjoyed... The story is a two-fisted odyssey full of bone-crushing blows and skull-spitting hammerlocks. Bulmash lavishly choreographs each explosive obstacle in painstaking detail and unabashed gusto... readers should be forewarned that the author also has a penchant for the grisly and isn’t afraid of going for the throat and tearing out a larynx or two..." - Kirkus Reviews (1st edition) When Kurt saw the beautiful girl from the club walk into his subway car, he was sure God was giving him a second chance. But she drugged him, kidnapped him, and offered him up as a human sacrifice to Satan. Just his still-beating heart was supposed to go through the portal to Hell. But when Alain and his friends disrupted the ceremony, Kurt accidentally fell through alive and whole. Kurt will have to make his way through Hell, Purgatory, and into Heaven and convince God to save a vampire's soul... or he's never getting home.Enter a multiverse of misfit souls with this first exciting installment in The New Heroes of Old™Ver livro
