A corrupt governor dies in a fit of stupidity. He is uncertain of his life standing, so finds himself journeying in Hell, where he feels like he doesn't belong. He is given a second chance, and is assigned to find damaged and lost, but wonderfully colorful souls in Hell, from any time period, who might redeem themselves through a second chance, and bring them into situations to better themselves in a new town in Asphedolus.
This high fantasy novel is set in Ancient Greek mythology. The main character faces the challenge of forming a rogues gallery into a community, deals with demons who would destroy him, and beautiful angels who help him. They must find something to live for in Asphedolus, or their situation is no better than in Hell and a final ending in ashes or the Lake Of Fire.
Characters include William Shakespeare, an real executioner from history, a pirate, women wrongly killed, and present day deaths, to bring seven subplots together at the end. The story is heavily driven by theme and character.
This may appeal to people who like zombies and vampires, 1000 Ways to Die, Lost, Dead Like Me, Final Destination, What Dreams May Come, Deconstructing Hell, The Devil's Advocate, Mister Destiny, Scrooged, and Groundhog Day.
