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.
A man is cast by an unfamiliar God into a vast, incomprehensible Hell - a labyrinth library of books containing the stories of every life ever lived.
His only way out is to find the single book that tells his own story. But along the seemingly infinite shelves lies every possible combination of letters. Trapped within this maze of meaninglessness, the absurdity of existence becomes impossible to ignore.
A life-changing, existential novella, Steven L. Peck's modern classic explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.
