Excerpt
His eyes grew more and more accustomed to the dark. After a few hours the vague contours around him became visible. The surroundings took shape and Philip saw the fragments of Outer Reachās shadow-draped landscape. It made him feel sick to his stomach and he wished he could bring back the darkness, because what he saw⦠In some ways it was much more terrifying. It was insanity.
There were trees, but something had happened to them. It looked like theyād been pressed inside out and the trunks were nothing but a tangle of splinters. The warped plants seemed to writhe in pain and reach out for him. Something had ploughed the barren land, leaving vast furrows filled with a darkness more intense than the sky above. Through these deep ravines blew an icy wind and the constant sound of a distant storm. A slow-running river filled with a concoction of mud and blood flowed through the distorted landscape until it reached the edge of a bottomless pit. But instead of draining into it, the river rose like a gigantic snake, stretching into the black sky as far as the eye could see. Everything was hideous and dead, but it was more than that. It was pure chaos and it hurt to look at. It hurt your mind.
Then he realized he was wrong. The land was definitely hideous, but it was far from dead. Here and there something unsightly slithered past him. Silhouettes of creatures as awful as the world they inhabited.
The accursed.
He could feel them staring from their hiding places. Could feel their hunger. Their bloodthirst.
But they didnāt attack and he knew why.
They didnāt dare.
Azielās orders.
Finally the everlasting darkness was punctured by little spots of light. His heart started racing. He was almost there.
The ruins of Enoch.
Azielās New Hell.

About the Author
I WAS BORN IN DENMARKĀ ON A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT IN NOVEMBERĀ 1976 ā¦
⦠and I began writing when I was a teenager. My first book was a really awful horror novel titled Nidhugās Slaves. It didnāt get published. Luckily.
During the next 7 years, I wrote nearly 20 novelsāall of which were rejectedāwhile working as a school teacher. The rest of the time I spent writing.
In 2000 I published my debut fantasy book, The Battle of CaĆÆssa, and thatās when things really took off. Since then Iāve published more than thirty-five books for children and young adults in genres ranging from fantasy to horror and science fiction.
My books have been translated into more than 15 languages and my series about the superhero Antboy has been adapted for film, which is available on Netflix. An animated tv series is currently in development.
A musical of The Devilās Apprentice opened in the fall 2018 and the movie rights for the series have also been optioned.
I live in Copenhagen with my wife, two boys, a dog named Milo and spiders in the basement.
AboutĀ THE GREAT DEVIL WAR: The Great Devil War was published in Denmark from 2005-2016, beginning with The Devilās Apprentice.
Even though the story (mostly) takes place in Hell and deals with themes like evil, death and free will, it is also a humoristic tale about good and evil seen from a different perspective. A tale that hopefully will make the reader ā young or old, boy or girl ā laugh and think.

LMAO!! Wow… Maybe he’d love it more if I got his name right!! I have another author that I love named Kevin J Kennedy, and for some reason I keep confusing their names! šš When I put up either of their reviews I have to double check about 5 times before I post so I don’t put the wrong name…. They even remind me of each other with the feeling of their writing, and their underlying messages. I feel like they could be friends!! So, happy birthday Kenneth!!! šššš And, you may want to look up Kevin J Kennedy. You could wind up in 100 Word Horrors Book 4! šš
