Pandemonium by Sean Farley

When you unexpectedly land in a twisted version of the afterlife, one finds strange bedfellows, and that surreal premise is taken to extremes in Pandemonium, the new supernatural fantasy by Sean Farley.

Jackson Armstrong is far from perfect, but the love he holds for his son launches him on an epic quest through a fiery realm of torture, evil and extremely unlikely allies. This wild and unpredictable ride through the depths of Pandemonium, a personal and uniquely creative take on Hell, is perpetually surreal and brilliantly penned. With constant tongue-in-cheek symbolism and cracking allegorical moments, this gripping novel will leave readers looking for ways to exorcise their own personal demons.

While there are some flat moments of dialogue and slightly redundant narration, the creativity of this strange world transcends those weak pages. The majority of this fictional romp takes place in a uniquely realized world, and the story is held together by a thick moral fabric – one centered on family, self-reflection, and desperate times calling for desperate measures.

Pandemonium is an inventive novel that is at once dark and surprisingly heartfelt, reminding readers to cherish life, and fight for the future, even when the odds seem impossibly stacked against you.
