Death was not the revelation Soren Johansson expected.
A geologist and devoted Mormon, Soren believed eternity meant reunion and peace. Instead, he awakens in an endless library—an infinite maze of books written in every possible combination of words. Somewhere within its shelves lies a single volume: the story of his life. Only by finding it can he escape.
As years stretch into centuries, Soren confronts madness, memory, and meaning itself in a place where time has no mercy and belief offers no refuge.
In A Short Stay in Hell, author and philosopher Steven L. Peck crafts a haunting meditation on existence, faith, and the futility of human understanding—a brief eternity that feels both infinite and achingly human.
