“As gleefully, vividly, hilariously obscene as you'd expect. . . . Irreverent and hugely entertaining." —NPR From the bestselling author of Fight Club comes a dark and brilliant satire about adolescence, Hell, and the Devil. Madison is the thirteen-year-old daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire. Abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, she dies over the holiday, presumably of a marijuana overdose. The last thing she remembers is getting into a town car and falling asleep. Then she's waking up in Hell. Literally. Madison soon finds that she shares a cell with a motley crew of young sinners: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by their doomed fate, like an afterschool detention for the damned. Together they form an odd coalition and march across the unspeakable landscape of Hell--full of used diapers, dandruff, WiFi blackout spots, evil historical figures, and one horrific call center--to confront the Devil himself.

"This was great, really fun read. Not if you have a weak stomach though "

"Fantastic read full of fun, cringe, and outlandish nonsense that make this story one of a kind. It'll have you looking like a weirdo when you burst into laughter startling anyone in the vicinity."

"I love this story. Even with all the twisted stuff that happened to her it was great to hear about Rose and her coming into her own self. Kai and Wen really pulled this one off and gave an amazing voice to Rose and Duke's story. It was great hearing more about the club and seeing it fill out more into one giant family. This story was really awesome and touching. I hate to hear about it, but it's still great and it shows that male or female everyone can be vulnerable."

"I love his book and it’s hard to find a book that depicts hell in a way that you couldn’t imagine and that’s what this book was. Definitely a good book to pick up!"

"Not the Chuck I love at all. No interest in reading the sequel Doomed after this. As a farce of Judy Blume I guess it has some charm but just never grabbed me."
