DESCENT INTO HELL In a town preparing to put on a play by the
celebrated Mr Stanhope, several people wrestle with inner and
possibly outer demons. A poor loser of a man hangs himself, but his
ghost still wanders the streets. A young girl fears what will
happen when she meets her doppelganger, the one who comes closer
and closer each time she sees her. A man jilted in love meets a
succubus. And a grandmother hovers between life and death.
Generally thought to be Williams's best novel, Descent into Hell
deals with various forms of selfishness, and how the cycle of sin
brings about the necessity for redemptive acts.
All Hallows' Eve is the story of a man and woman whose love was so
great it could bridge the gap of death; of evil so terrible as to
be unmentionable, of a vision so beautiful it must be true. Opens
with a discussion between the ghosts of two dead women wandering
about London. Ultimately explores the meaning of human suffering
and empathy by dissolving the barrier between the living and the
dead through both black magic and divine love. A young woman dies
to discover a London that looks right out of Dante. A painter does
a portrait of a minister and discovers he has painted beetles, and
the minister thanks him for it! A magician sends someone to the
future. All Hallow's Eve is an amazing book in that it explores
both the question of 'what happens when you die?' as well as 'what
is the relationship between the dead and the living?'. Charles
Williams at his best.
The third and Final chapter in the Fenton Saga as Daniel, Madison
and Todd are faced once more with their evil father. Who will
perish as they try to rid the world of Bill Fenton.
In Sandman Slim Stark came back from hell for revenge.
In Kill the Dead he tackled both a zombie plague and being
Lucifer's bodyguard.
And once again all is not right in L.A. Lucifer is back in
Heaven, God's on vacation, and an insane killer mounts a war
against both Heaven and Hell.
Stark must head back down to his old stomping grounds to rescue
his long-lost love, stop an insane serial killer, prevent both Good
and Evil from completely destroying each other, and stop the
demonic Kissi from ruining the party for everyone.
Even for Sandman Slim, that's a tall order. And it's only the
beginning.
