Sequel to the 2024 IAN Book of the Year for Outstanding Humor/Comedy/Satire, Death and the Dragon is the wild ride through Hell that Dante wished he’d had. Demons, nightmares, and bureaucrats await the Grim Reaper as he scrambles to stop a coup in Hell, forestall Armageddon, and rescue the Devil himself. After Lucifer played fast and loose with the Rules governing soul management—after he stole Abigail’s soul without Judgment—Grim storms into Hell to have words with the Lord of Lies. But one does not just waltz in demanding to speak with the Dragon. There are receptionists to battle, forms to complete, and minotaurs to charm. Oh, and a coup by Nigel the Demigod to stop. But what happens when Hell’s new leadership starts pulling the living into Hell before their time? When they bypass Death and threaten premature Armageddon? For Grim, there is no greater sin, and he will tear Hell apart to set things right, even if it costs his soul. Death is coming, and Hell will never be the same.
