Kirk, Jason,

Hell is a world without you : a novel / Jason Kirk. - New York, NY : Shutdown Fullbooks, [2024] - 300 pages ; 23 cm

"This novel references elements of religious trauma, including existential dread, familial shame, intrusive thoughts, pervasive guilt, purity culture, self-harm ideation, systemic bigotry, toxic positivity, and unresolved grief."--Content warning.

"Rarely has an Evangelical upbringing been depicted with the relentless honesty, wide-ranging empathy, and Superbad-meets-Siddhartha playfulness of HELL IS A WORLD WITHOUT YOU. During the time of Pizza Hut buffets, 9/11, and all-night Mario Kart parties, a grieving teenager faces a mortal crossroads: fire-and-brimstone certainty vs. forbidden love. And whether or not you've ever begged God to delay the Rapture (so you could have time to lose your virginity), that kid's story is about you."--Amazon website.
