Why read it?

1 author picked Why Hell Stinks of Sulfur as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the originality of this book—who ever would have thought to write about the geology of hell but a geologist? As a big-time nerd, I loved the deep dive into science, mixed with the stories and legends of people around the world.

I also enjoyed the author’s personal stories about visiting many of the places in the book, from the oilfields of Azerbaijan (and accompanying legends of the Zoroastrians) to the famed Greek river Acheron, said to carry the dead to the underworld. 

From Erika's list on hell for the afterlife-curious.
