Buy the ebook from Amazon. PRAISE "This series has kept me rapt from the first page, quite an accomplishment considering that the authors have been running a baton relay of writing. Fortunately these authors are the Jamaican sprint team doing the 4x100m relay, each stage just gets better and better. A few thrills, a bit of mystery, a strong overarching storyline, a cool lead character and a few horrifying bad guys, should keep people glued to their e-reader."    —Right What You Know Blog "THE DEAD MAN #3: HELL IN HEAVEN is a direct spiritual descendant of the sorts of awesome pulp action adventure tales that the greats like Robert E. Howard loved to write. Its got magic, its got evil, its got murder, its got beautiful women and grotesque violent freaks out for our hero's blood. It's even got axe-fighting and law-giving and a general tone of complete badassery[...]By tapping into the sort of stories written by Howard and Leiber that I feel defined the 30's Sword & Sorcery pulps, and a generation later the post-modern pulps of such writers as Gardner Fox and Karl Wagner, HELL IN HEAVEN further cements THE DEAD MAN series as a crossroads of pulp action, a storyline open and flexible enough to accommodate any niches or sub-genres."    —Post Modern Pulps "THE DEAD MAN series has become one of my favorite things to look forward to on a monthly basis. On top of that, they are lean and mean reading material, and the third book, HELL IN HEAVEN, amps up the mean aspect. For fans who have been wondering where the ax has been, it's back in a big, bloody way [...] co-authors Lee Goldberg and William Rabkin seem to revel in making THE DEAD MAN: HELL IN HEAVEN be as over-the-top as possible, while always keeping readers entertained. For anyone who has not taken up the world of Matt Cahill yet, you are missing out on some truly crowd-pleasing fun."    —Bruce Grossman, Bookgasm   THE DEAD WOMAN att Cahill thought he was alone with his torment, that he was the only one who could see the evil in people's souls as rotting flesh.

It's well written, tight and meets with my one requirement for an excellent DEAD MAN book. A little axe swinging action!"    —Man Eating Bookworm "It sets up a plot deviation that could bring quite a bit of fun in future entries...by fun, I of course, mean blood-stained mayhem!
