Hell isn't what anyone expected.

Its streets are alive with businesses, neighborhoods, commuters, cafés, and ordinary people trying to make the best of an eternal existence. Somewhere among them stands the most exclusive restaurant ever created, Le Dégustation Infernale, a place where reservations are measured in eternities and every course is crafted with flawless precision.

When renowned food critic Harold Whitcomb receives an invitation to review the restaurant, he expects the finest meal of his afterlife. Instead, he finds an experience unlike anything he has ever judged, where exquisite cuisine, impossible hospitality, and unsettling truths are served one unforgettable course at a time.

Blending dark fantasy, supernatural horror, razor-sharp satire, and gourmet fine dining, Le Dégustation Infernale offers a fresh vision of Hell where damnation isn't always delivered with fire and brimstone. Sometimes it arrives on fine porcelain beneath a silver cloche.
