The Apocalypse may or may not be around the corner, but the lamias of Nether Parts Punishments, Afterlife Services England & Wales (Hell), have a more serious problem to deal with. The delivery of twenty-eight unruly souls to the wrong address – viz, their office – and the subsequent overly energetic castigation of said souls by an unsupervised young demon on secondment, could lead to them facing one of the ultimate horrors the underworld has to offer: a disciplinary panel. SpaSpa Book Awards 2014 shortlisted.

Note: This book is intended to be free of charge. If your Amazon store is showing a price, you may prefer to download a free copy from Smashwords.

5.0 out of 5 stars OH...HE double hockey sticks!?

This little story will definitely tickle the funny bone of anyone who has ever had to deal with upper management or the good old bureaucracy. If you have even only a tiny knowledge of mythology, don't worry. The story is self explanatory. However one must have tongue firmly in cheek when they read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little gem
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2014

Even in the many circles of Hell there are staff shortages. The three lamias who run one of the offices have to interview somebody from another circle to take up a vacancy. Lack of reception staff means that a group of human souls can be deposited in the wrong place and somebody has to sort it out. This results in disciplinary action!

This short story is a taster for the author’s longer books, one of which I have already read. The story introduces the concepts of this hellish after-life and some of the characters are wonderfully drawn. If you’ve worked in an office you’ll recognise some of the absurdities. Richard Martinus has a quirky sense of humour which suits this kind of tale. Enraptured is a little gem which, if you enjoy it, will have you downloading the novels. Note to self – must read the sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Martinus: espresso style
Reviewed in Australia on March 19, 2014

"Enraptured" is a novelette set in the same world as "Death, I've Found Your Sting" and its recently-released sequel "All's Hell That Ends Hell." It is a fun read on its own but many of the references might be hard to follow if you have not read the two main novels, which describe these characters in more detail and set the scene for what is Really Going On in the world. It's good fun and of course much too short to provide any real relief for Martinus Deprivation Syndrome. You will enjoy this one but you will enjoy it much more once you have the full picture. Get them all and settle in for a great ride.

This reminds me of some of Tanya Huff's short stories. It is very odd, funny and interesting. I really liked it.
