Evil Readers, as ye partake of Encyclopaedia of Hell, rejoice! The hateful sequel written by Satan has arrived!

After Hell's army conquers Insignificant Earth and devours the human race in a celebratory feast, Lord Satan reveals that he will now journey deep into the universe to find the throne of the despised Creator. There Satan will depose God and take his rightful place as Emperor of Existence.

However, hellish complications quickly arise: exposed to the rays of the Celestial Sun, Satan's horns and claws become brittle and his undercarriage breaks out in a rash. A hypnotic, ghostly nun named Debbie seduces the naive King of Hate into taking a wrong turn. Now Lord Satan must face Oblivion when he enters Heaven's labyrinthine Library, from which there is no escape.

But when the Armies of Hell arrive to find Lord Satan and conquer Heaven, instead they find a disturbing secret at the core of Creation too shocking for even a demon to stomach.

Behold it all in Encyclopaedia of Hell II, a disgraceful tour de force of literary Blasphemy! Pickled with paradoxy, puzzles and paranoia, herein lie terrible cosmic secrets stolen from God's Library, including the mystery of why God created Satan, never mind mosquitoes, cellulite and murder hornets.

Martin Olson's savage wit provides the firepower for a preposterous literary feat unaccomplished since Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce passed—channeling the real voice of Satan. As a satirist, Olson has inflicted numerous comedy series on the populace via HBO, CBS, Showtime, Comedy Central, Disney, and FX. He has most infamously appeared as the Lord of Evil (Hunson Abadeer, father of Marceline the Vampire Queen) on the Cartoon Network series ADVENTURE TIME.

Coming someday to a film palace near you: Encyclopaedia of Hell--The Movie! The pernicious production rights have been most evilly obtained by the creative demons at Warner Brothers.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Geoffrey James of INC. Magazine praises the book as "one of the funniest books of all time" and describes it as a comedic masterpiece that blends Paradise Lost with the absurdity of The Office on LSD. The book is noted for its inventive format, including letters, emails, drawings, and folk tales, offering a unique and satirical take on an epic cosmic battle.
