Title: A Short Stay in Hell
Author: Steven L. Peck
Publisher: Strange Violin Editions

An entertaining riff on Borges's Library of Babel. The library is the hell to which the narrator is assigned. The joke is that the true religion is Zoroastrianism; however, the hell described isn't consonant with Zoroastrian beliefs, and the most salient aspects of the library described are Borges's. The story doesn't come to a satisfying conclusion. However, I enjoyed the writing.
