Shakespeare in Hell
A novella.
For what reason are we damned or saved? After the ultimate "yes man" Bob Haldeman died, he went to – (cough) down below – and got a new job as Beelzebub's right hand man. Meanwhile many of Bob's favorite writers have suffered for eons in the Cave of the Writers. Beelzebub has a new plan; he'd like to get Will Shakespeare to write a new play, but he'll take whomever he can get. Can Will Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde write their way out of Hell, fighting off the Dark Lady and Beelzebub? Will Bob find a spine and be a man?
