This is a great story of a tattoo artist named Spyder who, after being attacked by a demon, is able to see the other spheres of existence around humankind. The woman that saved him from being eaten, a swordswoman named Shrike, is hired to go to Hell to reclaim a book of magic, and she recruits Spyder to help her on the quest. This novel is replete with humor and action, and a host of great characters (my favorite being the Black Clerks, who bargain away life, one organ at a time). The story concludes with a battle in Hell, with Lucifer, one of his generals who seeks to take over, and a host of the Old Dominion. If you like A. Lee Martinez or Christopher Moore, you should definitely check out this novel!
