It's up to Samuel to stop her, except nobody will believe him, and time is running out.The Infernals (prev. Hell's Bells): Samuel and Boswell are pulled through a portal into Hell.

Samuel Johnson's Eternal Return (The Golden Greek)
by Martin Riker&“A comic-philosophical novel, the other side of the same coin as Milan Kundera&’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being.&” —The Wall Street Journal As a boy in an isolated religious community in Pennsylvania, Samuel Johnson sneaks off to watch TV with a neighbor girl—whom he eventually grows up and marries, only to lose her at a young age. When he too dies just a few years later, he inexplicably finds himself in the body of the man who killed him, unable to depart this world but determined, at least, to return to the son he left behind. Moving from body to body as each one expires, Samuel&’s soul journeys on a comic quest through an American half-century, inhabiting lives that are as stymied, in their ways, as his own. A ghost story of the most unexpected sort, Martin Riker&’s extraordinary debut is &“a darkly funny contemporary story&” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) about the ways experience is mediated, the unstoppable drive for human connection, and the struggle to be more fully alive in the world. &“Like a television rerun, Samuel&’s situation repeats, but the story of his eternal return does end, as all books must, in a manner that is absolutely dazzling.&”—Los Angeles Times &“Unforgettable.&”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Sand Man
by Sean CostelloPeople put their lives in doctors' hands every day--but in no other situation is this so literally true as at the moment the anesthesiologist looks casually down at you and says, "You'll be going off to sleep now..." The imagination runs wild in that moment. Fear is rarely so present. As you lie there, defenseless, you remember the horror stories. Everyone's heard them. The unintentional overdose that ends in death, or worse, a permanently vegetative state. The breathing circuit that disconnects while the doctor is out in the lounge drinking coffee. Granted, these situations are rare and anesthesia has never been as predictably safe as it is today. But what if the eyes that gaze down at you in that moment of trust and surrender belong to a madman? What if, as you feel yourself slipping away, you see something in those eyes so rank and terrifying you want to leap off the table and scream? But by then, of course, it's too late.
