Using every incantation at her disposal, Johnson presents a harrowing journey through the underworld where the reader meets The Grim Reaper, the Ferryman, assorted ghosts and minions, and of course, Lucifer himself. Surprisingly, Joan of Arc rounds out the register, balancing and breaking the tension with sardonic and often biting wit.
