New York, NY: Today, Humorist Books, imprint of Weekly Humorist Magazine, announced a new book release: Greg Maxwell’s Inferno by Keith James: “The erotic, Judeo-Christian, modern-day odyssey no one asked for.” 

It has been a long time coming but the release of Keith James’ new book Greg Maxwell’s Inferno is finally here. The Erotic, Judeo-Christian, Modern-Day Odyssey No One Asked For is now available to purchase and download from major retailers. This satirical take on Dante’s classic poem takes place in modern day San Diego where demons circle the city, Hell has come to claim the last mortal universe. A bleeding tower has burst through the 24-Hour Fitness parking lot, and one name is called to challenge Lucifer’s Champion –  Greg Maxwell. 

Who is Greg Maxwell? Imagine the person you would want to fight for humanity’s survival. Now think of the opposite person. Now think of that person’s dad. Cocaine. Talking animals. Weekend trips to Cape Cod. Secret JFK sex videos. This is the erotic, Judeo-Christian, modern-day Odyssey no one asked for. This is Greg Maxwell’s Inferno.

Mike Sacks, author of Stinker Lets Loose, Randy!, Poking a Dead Frog, calls it ‘“The funniest piece of fiction I’ve read since Trump’s ‘The Art of the Deal.’”

What a devilishly fun book is this.” says Brian Boone, contributor, Vulture;

“A good novel ought to knock a reader out of their own head and into the thoughts of an individual much different from themselves, and Greg Maxwell’s Inferno does just that, sending one headlong into the mind of a truly — but hilariously — deplorable individual as he somehow nonchalantly experiences some of the most impossible, imaginative, and consequential sequences ever attempted in a comic novel. What a devilishly fun book is this.” says Brian Boone, contributor, Vulture; author of Great Men of Science, and So You Want to Be an Old Person: Everything to Know for the Newly Old, Retiring, Elderly, or Considering

“This is a wild, bonkers, funny epic quest of a story.” says Marty Dundics, CEO of Humorist Media and Editor-in-Chief of Weekly Humorist Magazine. “The worlds created and characters are so extreme and the humor so blunt and raw, I think this is a read that will be hard for people to put down. You don’t have to like Greg Maxwell to care how this story ends. I look forward to seeing it as a streamer in the future.”

In its first 2 weeks Greg Maxwell’s Inferno has ranked #1 in New Releases for Absurdist Fiction, American Horror, Folklore, Urban Legends Humor, and in top 100 for Humorous Erotica!
