Fired up by the release of Dan Brown’s Dante-inspired new thriller, Inferno, we’ve put together a massive display on our first floor honoring all nine circles of Dante’s hell: Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud & Treachery. From Fifty Shades (Lust) to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Violence) to The Vanishers (Fraud, Treachery, actually that one covers a few…) to Garfield Weighs His Options (Gluttony) to Slaughterhouse Five (Vonnegut was an atheist – Limbo!) you are invited to gleefully descend into the fiery pits of damnation with us. Come on, you’ll like it. It’s warm down here.
You will also find among these sinful authors and characters the original guide to the dark side, Dante’s Inferno, as translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
You thought the Texas summer was hot. Just stand in front of this display a while. Yowza.
(Kudos to Flippo for creating the giant Inferno book in the center of the display by hand.)

It sounds very interesting and lovely to know about Dante. I wish I could visit.
What a great idea. I might try something similar in my library.
Very clever idea! Never seen this done before
Brilliant idea!
This is an amazing idea, the bibliomaniac in me is s reaming “I want to go to there!”. 😉
Bravo! Hell is where you make it.
Such a wonderful themed display!
My husband and I always plan a visit to BookPeople whenever we are in Austin. Great display. The retired librarian in me is envious.
You have definitely made a heaven out of hell 😉 very cool!
