Slow Hell
A collection of fourteen stories about Hell invading Earth and becoming a business opportunity.

This angle provides a unique perspective on the end times.
Published in 2015 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, this work sits within the tradition of horror and supernatural fiction.
