Worse than Demons Author talk

Author Vincent Vincent will be presenting his debut novel, Worse than Demons, and do a Q and A if time allows. Have you ever thought about what hell is like? Really thought about it? Worse than Demons is a story about a woman who knows what hell is like and will fight ferociously to prevent all of humanity from being taken, body and soul, into its burning depths. On her journey, she will fight detestable humans, bargain with the malignant denizens of Hell, stand toe-to-toe with the gods themselves, and perhaps challenge something even more powerful. Dianna lives in a world where humans are treated as little more than ants on a mound. For her to have a chance at saving the world, she has no choice but to view them in a similar light. But to truly win this cosmic game for the human soul, she cannot play the games of politicians, faen sorcerers, eldritch abominations, or even of the gods themselves. She must play a game without rules, and as such must be willing to do things that would leave any other human being a quivering neurotic. The prize of this game is the fate of not only the billions of human souls that exist now but of untold and uncountable billions more to come. In pursuit of such a prize, she will have no choice but to torture innocents, betray and abandon friends, and condemn herself to an existence as a disfigured abomination with the emotional depth of a husk. Her companions on this journey will be her oldest friend and mentor The Man of Sorrows, an immortal that has lived since the dawn of human thought, and Ash, a fae general and lord whose knowledge of the deep foreboding universe can leave people cold and shaking with fright, and Feldrick, a young prince shanghaied into traveling with the group as part of Sorrows political machinations. Dianna views her struggle as a simple equation: one person’s finite suffering against everyone’s maximum suffering for eternity. In this equation, the conclusion is obvious. The only way to beat demons is by being worse than them.
