Lilitu: Bloody Caleb by Jonathan Fortin (3 October, 2025)

Dante’s Inferno meets The Count of Monte Cristo in Lilitu: Bloody Caleb, the newcomer-friendly second volume in a Gothic Dark Fantasy saga of revenge, seduction, and the horrors of Hell.

22-year-old Caleb Schwartzenfeld is a vagrant violinist, struggling to survive the fog-choked streets of Victorian England. But when his search for a patron leads him into the clutches of a sinister cult, he is brutally sacrificed—and awakens in Hell, a nightmarish realm filled with demons who delight in torturing damned souls like him.

Refusing to let eternal agony break him, Caleb vows to escape from Hell, reunite with the woman he loves, and exact revenge on those who murdered him—even if it means becoming a demon himself. But as he becomes seduced into the twisted pleasures and deadly politics of Hell’s elite, Caleb must decide whether reclaiming his life is worth risking his soul.
