Milton in Purgatory

Milton in Purgatory Synopsis

'I've seen love and loss so many times. First cuts into the fresh flesh always scar the deepest.' Milton Pitt leads an uneventful life, with a dull job and a secret longing for adventure. One morning, after he is hit by a speeding car, he suffers an out-of-body experience and awakens back in his bedroom.

Everything is just the same - that is, except for the bloody footprints leading to the chimney… Is this his chance to lead a better life? Was it just a dream? Or is he simply dead?

In this richly inventive and humorous novella, Edward Vass brings the themes of Dante's Divine Comedy 700 years into the future.
