| 1 | An Agreement with Hell | 2010 | Dru Pagliassotti | Buy |
Dru Pagliassotti published An Agreement with Hell in 2010 through Apex Publications. The novel blends theological horror with extra-dimensional science fiction, set on a California college campus where an ancient seal has been broken. The story brings together a retired priest, a dying magician, and a figure known as the Walker Between the Worlds, who travels with a skin-eating demon familiar.
The book is a departure from Pagliassotti’s steampunk fiction, leaning into religious imagery, questions about the nature of good and evil, and the idea that angels and demons might be far stranger than any human mythology suggests. Readers who enjoy horror that takes theology seriously will find this one worth seeking out.
