Humorous stories (Children's&YA)

Series: Heck

"Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo back for thirds in another hilarious adventure in Heck. After his second escape from Bea ""Elsa"" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, Milton Fauster goes to Blimpo--the circle of Heck where his friend Virgil is sentenced. What Milton finds in Blimpo horrifies him. The overweight dead kids spend most of their time running on giant human hamster wheels called DREADmills. The rest they spend eating Hambone Hank's delicious--but suspiciously haunting--barbecue. Every classroom has a huge TV screen to taunt Blimpo residents with unattainable perfection. Meanwhile, at her new job, Milton's sister, Marlo, knows all about trying to achieve perfection. And failing miserably. Can Milton get himself and Virgil out of Blimpo in time to rescue Marlo, too? Or is Fauster the next delicacy on Bea ""Elsa"" Bubb's menu?

With more clever, dark humor and zany silliness, Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo Fauster back for thirds in another laugh-out-loud installment of the popular series Heck.

After his second escape from Bea ""Elsa"" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, Milton Fauster makes his way to Blimpo-the circle of the otherworldly reform school, Heck, where he's sure his friend Virgil is sentenced. Virgil's only crime is being, well, plump. Milton has to wonder if that's really enough to justify eternal darnation. And what Milton finds in Blimpo horrifies him. The overweight dead kids spend most of their time running on giant human hamster wheels called DREADmills that detect and exploit their deepest fears. The rest they spend eating Hambone Hank's barbecue-mystery meat that is delicious, but suspiciously (to Milton, anyway) haunting. Every classroom has a huge TV screen showing happy thin people who taunt Blimpo residents with a perfection they will never attain.

Meanwhile, at her new job in the devil's Infernship program, Milton's sister, Marlo, knows all about trying to achieve perfection. And failing miserably. Can Milton get himself and Virgil out of Blimpo in time to rescue Marlo, too? Or is Fauster the next delicacy on Bea ""Elsa"" Bubb's menu?"
