<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>'I've seen love and loss so many times. First cuts into the fresh flesh always scar the deepest.' </i>Milton Pitt leads an uneventful life, with a dull job and a secret longing for adventure. One morning, after he is hit by a speeding car, he suffers an out-of-body experience and awakens back in his bedroom. Everything is just the same - that is, except for the bloody footprints leading to the chimney... Is this his chance to lead a better life? Was it just a dream? Or is he simply dead? In this richly inventive and humorous novella, Edward Vass brings the themes of Dante's <i>Divine Comedy</i> 700 years into the future.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'A funny, original and quintessentially British account of a twenty-first century man confronted by the afterlife.' - Abbie Walker (@ab_reads), London Book Fair's 2019 Bookstagrammer of the Year<br><br>'A weird and wonderful tale, full of violent twists and turns.
