Paperback. Condición: Good. From the bestselling author of the generation-defining classic Fight Club comes a dark and brilliant satire about adolescence, Hell, and the Devil. "As gleefully, vividly, hilariously obscene as you'd expect. . . . Irreverent and hugely entertaining." --NPR Madison is the thirteen-year-old daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire.

Then she's waking up in Hell. Literally. Madison soon finds that she shares a cell with a motley crew of young sinners: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by their doomed fate, like an afterschool detention for the damned. Together they form an odd coalition and march across the unspeakable landscape of Hell--full of used diapers, dandruff, WiFi blackout spots, evil historical figures, and one horrific call center--to confront the Devil himself.…
