'I watch myself die, receiving mouth to mouth from a sweaty, forty year old man, slobbering and sprinkling dandruff all over my face. Why couldn't it have been the redhead?'

Milton Pitt leads an uneventful life, a shy man with a dull job and a secret longing for adventure.

But one morning, after he is hit by a speeding car, he suffers an out-of-body experience and awakens back in his bedroom knowing something isn't quite right. Everything is the same. Everything except for the bloody footprints leading to the chimney, that is... Was it a dream? Is he dead? Or will working his way through the levels of purgatory lead him to the life he always wanted?

Edward Vass brings the themes of Dante's Divine Comedy 700 years into the future in this richly inventive and darkly humorous, absurdist novella.

Reviews for Milton in Purgatory

'A funny, original and quintessentially British account of a twenty-first century man confronted by the afterlife.' - Abbie Walker (@ab_reads), London Book Fair's 2019 Bookstagrammer of the Year 'A weird and wonderful tale, full of violent twists and turns.
