"I used to think I was in hell. Now I know hell is in me." Having met his death shortly after escaping the insane asylum, Jake Sheers is trapped within the worlds of the living and the dead, and encumbered by a torturous aura he believes is his punishment. Hoping to learn the truth about a past he can't remember, spectral Jake has spent decades wandering America in search of anyone related to the man he was accused of murdering. His search ends in a small rural California town where he hones in on Quinn, a reclusive teenage medium with ties to his victim's surviving family. What begins as an antagonistic relationship gradually develops into a surreptitious power struggle between him and the unwilling young man he has come to respect. But Jake needs to settle things, and he is out of patience with Quinn's excuses. Soon, another side of Jake emerges, a violent entity that will kill to conceal the truth. It is a part of Jake. It feeds on his inner storm, and it feeds upon the storms of the earth. Poor Jake. It sucks to be insane, and it sucks to be alive and dead at the same time.Indeed... hell is in him. Sprinkled generously with black humor, teenage angst, deep characterizations, and an "I didn't see that coming" twist, Hell is in Me is a satisfyingly wild ride for the aficionado of paranormal suspense literature.
