Here, General James Wolfe has recently been resurrected - and once again finds himself in Hell, aboard a Satanic ship searching for an island not unlike Skull island. It’s a solid read: well-told, with great momentum to keep things moving and fun, crackling dialog, and prose that engages all the senses. My favorite of the 22 stories that comprise this anthology is “Colony,” by Bruce Durham. And I like the use of historical, legendary, and mythic characters. ![]() It’s quite a cool concept, and for writers this is a great place to let your imagination run wild. I love the whole concept behind the series, the cultures, inhabitants and levels of Hell. And now, continuing with the series, she brings us Rogues in Hell, which IMHO is the best of the lot. ![]() ![]() The most recent volume, the twelfth, was Lawyers in Hell (2011, co-edited with Chris Morris). Janet Morris has been editing and writing stories for her Heroes in Hell shared-world universe for quite some time now, starting with Heroes in Hell in 1986. It’s sword and sorcery at its best: character-oriented, with great plots and stories. I’ve always been a fan of the shared-world universe of Thieves World. ![]()
