You can go to hell and back with the help of this one-of-a-kind illustrated travel guide to real-life underworld destinations around the globe. Full of intrigue, lore, and plenty of brimstone and fire, each of the 54 destinations—from Antarctica's Blood Falls to a tropical hell on Grand Cayman island—will be worth adding to your devilish bucket list.
The world over, humans have been fascinated by hell in some form or another for thousands of years and across cultures. Now, with this illustrated collection, you can add hell to your travel bucket list with more than 50 one-of-a-kind underworld destinations, from ghost towns where Halloween is always in season, to ancient caves long viewed as entrances to Hades, to volcanoes that brim with fire and legend.
Go To Hell by Erika Engelhaupt will be published August 13, 2024. National Geographic provided an early galley for review.
When I first heard the title of this book, I was hooked. Very novel indeed.
The subject matter is also a lot of fun. Broken down into three sections (Portals to the Underworld, Hells on Earth, and Otherworldly Destinations), Engelhaupt presents a variety of fascinating and fun locations for travelers to investigate. I like the inclusion of detailed lore, tips for your trips, and the full-color pictures. All together, they add up to a great sampling of memorable locations. While I might never make it to many of them, having this kind of information can be inspiring for an amateur writer like me (to add just the right flavor to a story).
