Keith Aberwilde died on the best day of his life. They'd agreed to publish his first book. But a cab changed all that as he stepped off the curb, and BLAM. When he awoke, he found himself on the shore of a river with thousands of other Damned. He was in Hell's waiting room. Greeted by one of the Dark Lords' servants, Keith learns there is good news and bad news. First, the bad news, he has been sentenced to an eternity of suffering and pain, like the trillions who've come before him. That should've been the end of the story, but there was "good news." Lucifer had watched the decline of the nine Creations quietly and decided it was time for him to send the Living a wake-up call, and Keith would be his messenger. Here now are the journals of a Deadman, Keith Aberwilde. Travel with him as he visits each of the Planes of Hell and meets the many faces consigned to an eternity of torment and pain. Join him as he struggles to transcribe the horrors splayed out before him. As news spreads, both the Lords of Hell and The ArchAngels of The Host begin to turn a cautious eye upon Lucifer's new project. They are afraid Keith will uncover the well-guarded secrets of Creation and where that long-lost Father has gone. It is time to learn how your creators abandoned you and how you are neither welcomed nor wanted in either Hell or The Eternal City. The forces of Creation see the Living only by the amount of suffering they can wring from your souls, for in that pain lies the fuel that powers Creation. Alexander Collas challenges the beliefs of a long-held mythos that has inspired and tormented people for thousands of years.
