Publisher's summary

"Madcap lunacy!"

Steve and Orson are back in this cracked sequel to Hell's Super, book two in the new satire and humor series, Circles in Hell. This time, the guys must fix Hell's heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, which has failed. Hell is getting progressively colder, and things are a lot more serious than devils and demons needing to put on some sweaters.

If you've ever used the expression, "It will be a cold day in Hell before...", then you know that there are metaphysical ramifications involved. The HVAC system must be fixed before all Hell freezes over, which is an even worse state than just a bit of frigid weather. Still, anything can happen on a cold day in Hell...even a paranormal comedy romance that becomes a whacky love triangle.

A Cold Day in Hell is the second volume in the fantasy comedy series, Circles in Hell. It has been compared to other works of paranormal humor and Hell fiction including The Screwtape Letters and Good Omens and to the writings of Tom Holt, Christopher Moore, and Douglas Adams.

On par with the first book

What made the experience of listening to A Cold Day in Hell the most enjoyable?

It's an easy story to follow. Breaks up well into commuting or exercising times. Doesn't require any thought. Pure pulp.

Try this series, it's so worth it! :)

4.5 stars!
"It will be a cold day in hell when...."
This series is so much fun! The dialogue between characters is so witty. I love all the characters that have been introduced in both books so far. They are so interesting, and each one is different enough that you don't confuse any of them. I've listened to the audiobooks of both books, and the narrator is absolutely perfect! I don't think there could be anyone better than him for these books, and I hope he continues with the rest of the series. This story was so original, and even mysterious. I have definitely never read anything about hell going cold before! I'm loving this series, and I am excited to see what Steve gets himself into next!

Entertaining

The comedy continues with just as many bad jokes as were in the first book. The 'bad guy' wasn't as obvious in this one. The narration was excellent and the pace was steady. I look forward to the next book.

Demons in Parkas

Another hit out of the park for Mark Cain featuring Steve Minion, Hell's only superintendent, his assistant Orson Wells, and a cast of famous and not so famous characters. This time Hell's HVAC system is failing and the resulting cold day in Hell has interesting metaphysical and humorous consequences in Hell, Heaven and Earth.

Be on the look out for the wonderful Wizard of Oz references and the vast and varied uses for duct tape and WD-40 as well as a public transportation system truly from Hell.

Michael Gilboe brings the entire story to life with fabulous character voices and personalities and fun sound effects. He is a true master narrator.

Also an amusing little book

What made the experience of listening to A Cold Day in Hell the most enjoyable?

It's still an easy and amusing listen and probably not for the devout. The story is more even, still not that deep and the snarky style works pretty well. And I want a BOOH of my own. And I'm off to the next one.
