Publisher Comments:

Conor O'Neil is in Hell. No, really. While chasing his dog, he got run over by an ice-cream truck, and now he's sentenced to eternal damnation. He's stuck in a corner of Hell specifically designed for his maximum torture — lined with bookshelves and droning educational radio programs. Then he realizes that his personal version of Hell might be someone else's idea of Heaven — and vice versa. He sets out on a filthy, funny, and forbidden journey to search for his opposite number, accompanied by his repulsive pet dog, a depressed cross-dressing Viking, and Clarence, his personal devil. Can he do it? Conor is hellbent on finding out.

Review:

"A Brilliantly Nauseating Thriller."

— London Times

Review:

"A wisecracking helter-skelter....This is real boys' stuff, with enough gaseous fart gags to keep the inferno stoked."

— The Guardian

As a skeptic to the theme I must say I was truley swayed for poor Connor O'neil's plight.

Hellbent is a true page turner as you follow heart-renchingly as Connor and Scrote attempt to change their fate.

Anthony Mcgowan uses brilliantly, rich language and stomache turning descriptions of a boys interpretation of Hell.

It truley makes the reader count his sins.
