A witty (and beautifully illustrated) twist on Dante's Inferno, with 70 new hells for today's standard sins - including talking during the movies, PDA, and more!

In the 1300s, Dante Alighieri described the nine circles of hell in the underworld. Since then? No new updates. Thankfully, Go to Hells picks up where Dante left off, providing readers with a much-needed expanded edition of the Inferno.

Included in this volume-in-verse are helpful descriptions and illustrations of the contemporary hell circles that have cropped up since Dante's times. The guiding maxim of Go to Hells? We all know that the devil is in the details. So, when you tell someone to go to hell, you should be as specific as possible.

Covering everything from Movie Talkers and Loud Typers, to Reply All-ers and those guilty of chronic PDA, Go to Hells provides all the details the savvy crank needs to keep pace with the new and ever-more-irksome irritations of the modern world.
