A World Away — T.J. Smith

Nine hundred years ago, fifty men committed such unspeakable acts that even hell proved insufficient punishment for them. To avert a potential underworld mutiny of horrific proportions, these fifty insurrectionists were relocated through a portal from the pit of hell to the dark Eldritch Forest of another world, parallel to our own. Upon their banishment, the condemned men were transformed into hideous half-man and half-serpent creatures.

Thirteen years ago, William Clay -- then a mere child -- disappeared from a nearby forest, never to be seen again. Only recently, his younger brother, Dan, acquired information on the history and folklore of the forest from a questionable source. After analyzing the facts and legends, Dan suspects that his brother fell through the portal and is being held captive in the parallel world by the fifty fiends. Join Dan and three friends as they embark on an out-of-this-world journey where they are hunted by savage beasts along the footpath to a demonic castle.

The pages within are your passport to A World Away where the unimaginable becomes reality, the unnatural becomes the norm, and the uninvited become fitting prey.
