Words from Hell

Unearthing the Darkest Secrets of English Etymology

Words from Hell, by Jess Zafarris, is a bold, unflinching exploration of loss, desire, and the messy ways people try to survive. With razor-sharp prose and dark wit, Zafarris probes flawed relationships, buried secrets, and the language people use to justify their choices, crafting scenes that linger long after the page is closed. Part indictment and part elegy, this book confronts the reader with moral complexity while offering moments of strange tenderness and surprising grace.
