Inside Asmodil: A Story at the Edge of Purgatory

A businessman loses his footing, meets an undead god, and is drawn into a revenge story with stakes beyond one life.

Asmodil is B.J. Starink’s 18+ horror slasher. At its centre is Harry, a businessman whose life has come apart through alcohol. His encounter with Asmodil—a god of purgatory, undead and driven by revenge—turns that collapse into a much larger nightmare.

The book moves from personal ruin toward mythic scale: Asmodil’s grievance reaches the gatekeepers, and the power behind his revenge threatens more than the people closest to him. It is a dark, high-stakes premise for readers who want their horror uncompromising.

The novel is available in English and Dutch editions on Amazon. Its official author listing and current regional retailer links are on the book page. This title is intended for adult readers; the author labels the English edition 18+.
