Hades Speaks!: A Guide to the Underworld by the Greek God of the Dead

128 pp. | Boyds | September, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62091-598-1 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Secrets of the Ancient Gods series. Illustrated by J. E. Larson. Hades takes us on a tour of the Underworld, pointing out the famous mythological figures found there, many suffering punishments. He begins by describing ancient Greek funeral rites before moving on to the different areas of the House of Hades. The pen-and-ink illustrations lend an appropriately gloomy look to the book, but Shecter's attempts at humorous dialogue fall flat. Bib., glos., ind.
