Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Theology student Hudson receives the unexpected news that he has won Satan's lottery and is one of only 11 winners in human history since Lucifer's expulsion from heaven. He stands to gain not only $6 million in his mortal lifetime but also an eternity as a member of hell's most privileged elite. To help him decide whether to accept his prize, the soul of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft conducts Hudson on a guided tour of hell, a horrific vision that surpasses that of Dante's Inferno in its gruesome carnage. In the meantime, hell's engineers are at work on top-secret projects that have an impact on Earth's integrity, while a rebel contingent fights for God to bring about hell's overthrow. The latest work by the cofounder of the splatterpunk movement and author of Portrait of the Psychopath as a Young Woman continues to push the boundaries of graphic horror with his tale of temptation and moral quandaries. VERDICT Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, this is visceral and sexually explicit horror fantasy perfectly suited for fans of the genre.

    Hell is a city

    Love edward lee's vision of hell. This is a like a sick twisted travel guide for hell.... with a plot. Incorporating HP Lovecraft as a guide in this nauseating tale was perfect. Cant wait to read the next tale about the real sin city

    Edward Lee writes a hellish vision as the winner of Lucifer's Lottery is tested

    Chaste Hudson Hudson is a good person who plans to attend seminary school once he graduates from college. However his advisor suggests he live in the real world first. Obedient, he travels to Florida and works at a seafood restaurant, but residing in the secular world fails to change his mind of becoming a priest. A week before he is to report to the Seminary, Deaconesss Wilson arrives and informs Hudson he won the Senary lottery sponsored by Lucifer every 666 years since his fall from grace in 4652 BC.

    Hudson declines, but the note his visitor left behind says if he is interested in learning more about the Senary he needs to go to 24651 Central in six days. Curious, Hudson goes to what was the Larkin House where a man killed his wife and child. A portal is opened and he talks to Howard who persuades the student to send his spirit into hell to find out what he would receive if he accepts the winnings. Hudson receives the grand tour of Mephislopolis, a megalopolis bigger than all the cities on earth. Hudson witnesses the perversity of the place so at tour's end he still refuses to accept the winnings; he reconsiders when he is shown the rewards.

    From the Pol Pot section of the city of the damned to the Corpus Peak made up of a billion dead demons, readers accompany Hudson on a tour of depravity as Mephislopolis owns the entreating story line. Lucifer the evil architect wants Hudson's pure soul as a challenge to turn a true loyal believer from God with temptations that would have Job reconsidering. Hudson is more than a rhetoric believer as he performs good deeds, but ironically is not fully developed until he travels to the inferno. Edward Lee writes a hellish vision as the winner of Lucifer's Lottery is tested.

    Before you go any further, this book is definately not for anyon

    Before you go any further, this book is definately not for anyone under the age of 15. This book was very good and very different. The ending was a real suprise. The only difficulty I had with the book is that you don't know what happens with one of the characters that is mentioned throughout the book. It was definately a very good read and very unique. Check it out. I don't think you will be disappointed.
