Plot summary:
Dante's Inferno meets The Count Of Monte Cristo in Lilitu: Bloody Caleb—a Gothic dark fantasy of murder, revenge, and the horrors of Hell.
22-year-old Caleb Schwartzenfeld is a vagrant violinist, struggling to survive the fog-choked streets of Victorian England. But when his search for a patron leads him into the clutches of a sinister cult, he is brutally sacrificed—and awakens in Hell, a nightmarish realm filled with demons who delight in torturing damned souls like him. But no matter how brutally the demons maim him, Caleb finds that he cannot die.
Refusing to let eternal agony break him, Caleb vows to escape from Hell, reunite with the woman he loves, and exact revenge on those who murdered him. Yet returning to Earth may require him to become one of Hell's monsters himself.
Under the dark tutelage of the depraved incubus Salem Sotirios, Caleb is seduced into the twisted pleasures and deadly politics of Hell’s elite. As he navigates a macabre underworld of power, lust, and vengeance, Caleb must decide whether reclaiming his life is worth risking his soul.
Perfect for fans of Gothic horror, supernatural revenge thrillers, and darkly romantic fantasy, Lilitu: Bloody Caleb delivers a chilling, seductive, and unforgettable journey through Hell and back. Readers can start with either this book or with Lilitu: The Memoirs Of A Succubus. Characters from both stories will converge in Book III.
"From its haunting gothic vistas straight out of Victorian London to scenes of gruesome gore that would turn Jason Voorhees’ stomach, Bloody Caleb casts a dark spell over the imagination. Caleb’s story is macabre yet touching, a blood-soaked, tormented descent that explores the substance and meaning of manhood, and the way hope and desperation can live side by side in one heart. Fans of complex, layered characters need look no further: Caleb is a protagonist you can sink your teeth into, and who is eager to return the favor." - Owen B Greenwald, author of Weapons of the Mind and Midsummer Night
