Best known for extraordinarily imaginative fantasy art, Barlowe (Barlowe's Guide to
Extraterrestrials) now sets his talents to writing equally compelling speculative
fiction. Inspired by Paradise Lost, Barlowe conjures up the creatures who sided with
Lucifer and were ejected from heaven, thrown down into Hell to become freakishly mangled
demons. After innumerable eons of exile, the demon Sargatanas has started to dream of
being reunited with God. Sargatanas amasses an army to aid him in overthrowing Lucifer's
regent, Beelzebub, in an attempt to catch God's eye. In a flash of inspiration, Sargatanas
adds human souls to his army, under the direction of Hannibal. Together, human sinners and
once-rebellious demons unite to vanquish Beelzebub in an all-out war. Barlowe's
interpretation is not for the squeamish, with its horrifically explicit descriptions of
demonic behavior, but it's a compelling view of Hell and of a demon who seeks redemption.
