    About this ebook

    A CITY, BUILT WITH BLOOD AND BONES...
    Three things are about to join a crypt in Hell with a house on Earth... Nuns molested and drained of blood. A virginal student seduced by the perverse and taunted by things worse than ghosts. And six Angels, imprisoned in Hell and made pregnant by God knows what...

    A HOUSE, BUILT FOR THE CHURCH, BUT DESIGNED BY SATAN...

    When Venetia Barlow begins work at St. John's Prior House, she expects a quiet summer of drudgery and boredom. But soon she's haunted by lurid desires and visions of a city full of monsters...and the monsters know her name. Is the house really a place of meditation and worship, or is it a temple of abomination and the most evil secrets? Venetia will only find out, when the voice of a long-dead priest comes into her head and gives her a an unspeakable message from the howling, blood-drenched streets of Hell...

      Disappointing, plot wise...
    • 4/5
      Sick, grotesque, profoundly religious and strangely brilliant. The man can really write.

    • 3/5
      Edward Lee paints a very clever portrait of Hell and it's denizens as they attempt to use Earthly vessels for their own diabolical needs. The city itself, is richly detailed with dark and twisted character and places, in a manner akin to the deviant tales of Clive Barker. The characters are varied although somewhat lacking in depth, however the book has strong direction and the character development is clearly second place to the plot. The story itself is interesting enough, although there is a lack of urgency in the writing style and the lack of empathy with the characters derives from the impact the novel could have created. Overall House Infernal is a simple read, with some great creative sparks, however the style of writing means it's not a real page turner.

      All Venetia Barlow wanted to do in her summer break was to earn a couple of extra credits by helping to restore St. John's Prior House. But then she starts hearing voices... from Hell, and slowly she discovers the many secrets the Prior House has hidden so well over the years.A terrific novel which combines a lot of with well-thought-out descriptions (Mephistopolis, the city in Hell with it's different districts is a very fine example) and a suspenseful storyline with steadily mounting tension until the story concludes in a brilliant finale, but be warned, on the way you'll encounter a couple of unexpected developments. I finished the second half of the book in one sitting, it was way too gripping to put down.
