📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Edward Lee explores Hell as a living city through two opposing protagonists.

This volume combines a novel with the new novella 6-Thirteen to examine the nature of Hell as a physical place rather than a spiritual state. The narrative focuses on the intersection of the living and the dead within an urban framework. Lee uses the setting of endless black skyscrapers to critique modern existence while delivering supernatural horror. The plot hinges on the power dynamics between two individuals who can traverse the boundary between worlds. Their opposing goals drive the conflict toward a catastrophic conclusion for the land of the living.

📝 Description: Infernal Angel

Edward Lee’s Infernal Angel presents a dark vision of Hell as an endless metropolis defined by black skyscrapers and blood red skies. This revised edition includes the previously unpublished novella 6-Thirteen, which expands on the city's eternal horror. The narrative follows two living humans who have uncovered an occult secret allowing them to enter this realm of the damned with powers exceeding those of fallen angels. Their motivations diverge sharply as one seeks to stop a diabolical plot while the other intends to unleash Hell’s evils upon the land of the living. The story depicts a world where screams ripple through alleys and dead people trudge to work just like in any other city. Lee brings his established reputation in horror fiction to this exploration of supernatural conflict. The text draws on gothic traditions to create a setting that is both familiar and terrifyingly alien. Readers who enjoy dense atmospheric horror and tales of occult intrusion will find this volume compelling. Those seeking lighthearted genre fiction or simple ghost stories may find the tone too relentless. Lee structures the narrative around the tension between these two protagonists. The inclusion of 6-Thirteen adds depth to the lore of Hell as a place of endless urban decay. The book suits fans of Edward Lee’s previous work and those interested in modern interpretations of hellish landscapes. It does not suit readers who prefer character-driven dramas over atmospheric dread.
