Hell Pulp

"A brutal, adrenaline-soaked ride... Stunning." -Arthur Avalos, author of Something Happened

LIFE IS TEMPORARY. THE REST IS INFINITE.

Recently deceased, Oscar rises from his grave and discovers a barren world where the dead face a desolate, never-ending existence. No one can escape, no one can die, and the only way to adapt is by abandoning one's sanity and humanity.

Desperate to find meaning in this new reality, Oscar joins forces with Nathaniel, a man broken by this dog-eat-dog world. Together, they embark on a perilous journey through Hell in search of Dean Theodore, a figure who may hold the answers to eternity's deepest secrets.

As they battle the Hell around-and within-them, they learn that even in the most uncaring corners of the cosmos, the faintest glimmer of hope may be just enough to keep the darkness at bay.

Hell Pulp is a grounded exploration of the afterlife myth, unbound by religious traditions. For readers craving adventure, horror, and philosophical reflection, Hell Pulp offers a harrowing vision of a world just beyond ours.
