Publisher's Summary:

After an ancient tribe of sentinels disbands, the realm between Earth and Hell devolves into a land where vile beasts roam free and corruption reigns. In this aberrant land time is only relative, and pain can last forever. On Earth there are three strangers in search of something tangible, something real, something that gives meaning to their lives.

Little do they know that a grisly murder in San Diego will mark the beginning of a series of events that will draw them to a world of madness, torture, and lawlessness where they will be forced to fight for their desires and their lives. Once in the realm of the In Between will they ever be the same again? Is there a way back home to Earth, or does Hell await?

Critic Reviews:

"Essig brings a fat slice of urban horror combined with his uniquely abstract vision of a hellish world. Endless suffering abounds! For fans of down and dirty horror!" (Daniel I. Russell, author of Samhane)

A fun stroll through the passage to Hell

Through the In Between, Hell Awaits is a wicked tale of demons chasing each other from the In Between to Earth and back. The In Between is effectively the passage to Hell, and even though Hell is in the title, the book never actually gets there. Still, it doesn't really matter. The In Between is Hell enough.

Austin and Audrey get caught up in the impending war between rivals Baz and Dagana. Both want to rule the In Between with absolute power, but neither wants to give in to the other. Dagana in particular so desperately lusts for power that she does anything she can to get it. This includes collecting suitable humans to transform into her demon pawns. She hopes to bring an army back to the In Between to completely take over.

The story shifts between Earth and the In Between. Both have a life of their own and both are equally important to the tale. The only part that can be disorienting is the name changes as the demons move from world to world (a couple characters have at least three different names). Thankfully, there are not so many characters that you can't sort it out pretty quick.

All in all, I really dug the book. It was graphic, violent, and had a really cool feel to it. The only thing holding it back from a higher rating is no fault of the author. It's the editing. More times than I could count, I found myself wanting to grab a red pen and go to town. This is particularly unfortunate because it could have turned a good book into a great one.

Don't let that stop you from reading it though, because it really is a hell of a book. Just suppress your inner editor and enjoy the ride. It's worth it.

Good book

The author is my son so I had to read the book. I prefer romance and mystery and had never read anything like this. Also, being the parent of the author, it is a little hard to stop looking to see if what he is saying relates to real life. It did not take long to get past this. I enjoyed the book and it picked me up right away. I visualized a few of the characters, felt the minions crawling out of the back of my neck, and nearly cried. Not long into the book there was a little romance and I had to find out what happened. This is a book that women will even enjoy. I felt the fights were a little long at times but that is what they do now days. The ending of the book was very good and was not too long.
