Delve into the subversive world of weird fiction with a discussion of A Short Stay in Hell (2009) by Steven L. Peck. Haunting and thought-provoking, Peck's dreamlike, existential novella casts a man into a version of hell teeming with books containing the stories of every life ever lived - and with a chilling command to find his own volume amidst the soul-destroying labyrinth.
