Ademon named Dren is looking for salvation. Satan's fiery underworld has become a foreign place to him. He feels he is different from the other souls. He's changed over time. He's ready for redemption. But getting out of hell is no easy task. Escaping was the easy part. But now, alone in a world unfamiliar to him, Dren must save a single soul in order to pass on to the heavens above. Billy is a young hoodlum working for a big-time mobster. Like Dren he has also changed. He wants out of the seedy underworld he calls his home. Just, one more run, one more big payday, and he's finished with it all. He'll, get his cash, grab the woman he loves, and be gone forever. But the mob doesn't look kindly on deserters. Satan has sent two rogue demons from hell to stop Dren. The mob has hired a conjurer named Nadja to kill Billy. In the end, the two must call on the powers of the Crow to, save them both -- waging a full-scale war on the mobsters of Earth above and the lord of darkness below.… (mer)

An interesting book This book is about an angel that is stuck in hell and wants to save a human soul so he will be allowed entry into heaven.
One of the demonic character was really annoying, since it is a snake so it pronounced everything it said a certain way.
This book is like all the other crow novelization books, because the main character isn't resurrected until 100-160 pages into the book, and it t is 237 pages long.
This book is about demons in hell that come to earth to pursue a renegade angel that was in hell and escaped to save a hell bound soul that was currently suffering or in pain in some way and would need his help.
However his is a liar and cannot be trusted.
If you like reading about angels, demons in the human world possessing and tormenting human beings then you will like this book.
I liked some of the phrases used in this book such as "summinaries of darkness" and "vessels of inequity"
I did like this book, but I wish it was more connected to the original graphic novel it gains inspiration from.
All of these Crow novelization books are original stories but don't really relate to the crow much, which is a bit annoying that they are using the name the crow and it is only very loosely connected to James O'Barr's original graphic novel. ( )

Welcome to hell. No, not the hell of reading another one of my book reviews, or the hell of hearing Jennifer Lopez's latest song, but the hell that is Satan's fiery domain. For here a demon named Dren is looking for salvation and redemption and must escape the underworld and save a single soul to pass on to the heavens above.
I'm a huge fan of 'The Crow' whether it be the original movie, the graphic novel, memorabilia, or whatever...it doesn't really matter as I'm intrigued and drawn to it all. Admittedly, a few of the movies were terrible, I never cared for the tv show and some of the literature has been somewhat lacking. However, one of the better literary offerings, if not the best, is 'The Crow: Hellbound' by A A Attanasio.
I had never read any of Alfred Angelo's work before this novel and since then have only tasted his wares a couple of other times, in the Crow anthology 'Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams', but I hold firm in my belief that he is one of the most talented writers whose work I have ever read. Of course, that opinion is very much backed up in this book where the characters, the pace of the story, the overall bleak and suffocating atmosphere and the story itself are absolutely spot on in relation to what he is trying to accomplish in the novel. At times the atmosphere generated in this novel was so evil that I had to put the book down and gather myself for a few moments. I only ever recall doing that once before, reading about the Holocaust, but never have I had to pull away from a work of fiction before. Such is the depth of the writing, in the choice of words, that it's as if the writer is a perfectionist who wrote and rewrote every page until he reached the point of having the perfect choice of words...nothing less sufficing.
At first this doesn't seem like a Crow novel but more like a demon possessed book, forged of evil and filled with blasphemies and eternal darkness. As the story progresses and Dren leaves hell the story arcs into the human world and the world of The Crow, without ever leaving it's sulphuric soaked roots, where good and evil meet for the battle over a human soul. That battle is a fascinating one and even if you don't believe in heaven and hell Attanasio will drag you kicking and screaming into a world where, for a while at least, you surely will believe. ( )
