Table of ContentsReviewsPraise for Angel's Inferno 'Long-awaited and darker than hell' - Maxim Jakubowski 'It's like the Da Vinci Code crossed with The Exorcist - nightmarishly good' - Mail on Sunday Praise for Falling Angel 'A terrific book...I've never read anything remotely like it. Trying to imagine what might have happened if Raymond Chandler had written the Exorcist is as close as I can come' - Stephen King 'Brilliant and frightening' - Thomas McGuane 'Masterfully shocking' - Observer 'One of the greatest mysteries ever written' - Independent Author InformationWilliam Hjortsberg (1941-2017) was an acclaimed author of novels and screenplays. Born in New York City, Hjortsberg's first success came with Alp (1969), an offbeat story of an Alpine skiing village, which Hjortsberg's friend Thomas McGuane called, 'quite possibly the finest comic novel written in America.' In the 1970s, Hjortsberg wrote two science fiction novels, Gray Matters (1971) and Symbiography (1973), as well as Toro! Toro! Toro! (1974), a comic jab at the macho world of bullfighting. His best-known work is Falling Angel (1978), a hard-boiled occult mystery. In 1987 the book was adapted into a film titled Angel Heart, which starred Robert De Niro and Mickey Rourke. Hjortsberg's work also includes Jubilee Hitchhiker (2012), a biography of Richard Brautigan, American writer and voice of 1960s counterculture. He died in 2017.
