Out of Body: Straight to Hell by Christopher Chater is a work of supernatural fiction. Harley's life has been one long losing streak until he learns that the visions he had as a child weren’t delusions at all. Now twenty-two and wheelchair-bound, he discovers that the medication meant to ‘help’ him actually blocked his psychic abilities and allowed the Prince of Hell to take over his body. With Satan using his physical form to go after the girl of his dreams, Harley must fight from the astral plane to reclaim his life. Armed with the ghost of a psychic CIA agent and a borrowed ‘meatsuit,’ he launches a last-ditch effort to stop the apocalypse... and maybe win the girl, too.

Author Christopher Chater knows how to fill a story with suspense, and this fast-paced, wildly original twist on supernatural thrillers and astral projection takes readers on a ride they’re not likely to forget in a hurry. I’ve not read anything like this story before. I loved the unique blend of attitudes in the narrative, which delivers a mix of dark humor, cosmic stakes, and deeply human moments of vulnerability. The plot is well-structured to stay logical and grounded, even when the narration feels totally otherworldly, and the twists keep the reader off balance until the very end. This novel is also unique in that it can be read as a standalone despite being the third in a series. This makes for an accessible and engaging introduction to an author who offers a unique blend of spiritual horror and action-packed adventure. Overall, Out of Body: Straight to Hell is a highly recommended read for fans of dark supernatural literature to sink their teeth into.
