What is it like to be damned?

Arturus knows.

Born in Hell, Arturus has never had the chance to meet his creator or seek redemption; but that doesn’t mean he has no destiny. He lives near the village of Harpsborough, whose people have torn a moment of peace from the unwilling claws of damnation—and damnation wants it back.

Future omens are poor. Infidels roam the wilds, devils are amassing, and the very stones of Hell themselves have begun to break apart. But even while they fight damnation, Arturus and the hunters of Harpsborough find themselves facing off against traitors from amongst their own ranks and a people they thought they’d left far behind.

Love it!

One of the most challenging things in a book for me as a reader is to find authors who "get it" regarding growth and relationship dynamics. Coming of age novels have been very popular recently, many of them are the emotional equivalent of pop love songs -- "he loves me, he hates me", "she loves me, she's mad at me", "I need him/her to breathe", and so on; they're more songs and stories about codependency than anything having to do with actual love. McCoy gets it. Relationships in EHHK are complex and believable, and the characters feel real.

Another thing that McCoy does very well that a lot of authors get wrong is the true struggle of faith, even if that faith is in Hell, where allegedly God can't hear you (I might argue that, but I'm a theologian, so only I would find that interesting). This book challenges the fundamentalism of modernity with a witty, gritty, sharp tongue. In hearing the narrative of the damned, we gain insight into the shortcomings of pop-Christianity and the problems of what George Carlin so rightly lampooned as 'a god who has a place of eternal hellfire and suffering if you break his commandments -- but who loves you'. More, McCoy does this without either the acerbic smugness of Hitchens or the sensationalism of LeHaye & Jenkins of the "Left Behind" series. To my mind, it challenges the reader to think about what our faith (or lack) means for us and those around us, and to examine our image of God more closely.

Great work, I'm ready for the sequel!

Solid novel, exceptional first novel.

Shaun McCoy paints a vision of Hell that tells an interesting story and leaves the reader with questions on the nature of the cosmos as well as punishment. Does anyone deserve to be damned? What is the point of eternal punishment without the chance of posthumous redemption? My favorite quote is delivered by one of the peripheral characters, who will undoubtedly show up in the sequels: "...if ole Yahweh wants to sacrifice Himself, to Himself to save us from Himself, bully for Him..." The denizens of Hell who die there are destined for another Hell, regardless of their behavior in the current one, leading one to wonder if there was an alternative to Hell in the first place.

Aside from a geography that follows its own rules and a population of monstrous creatures, the Hellscape that McCoy paints is much like a more unforgiving Earth, lacking the fire and brimstone of your contemporary visions, although populated by creatures that resemble the demons of legend, as well as wild and savage humans given over to the more primal aspects of their nature. The people harvest resources and use them to try and keep the wilder elements of their environment at bay, all the while combating the same needs that us "living" people do: hunger, loneliness, purpose, etc. The story follows Arturus, or Turi, who is destined for great things despite being born into a Hell he never earned. Raised by two men outside of the city of Harpsborough, founded by a group of people looking to find some peace in Hell, he has been taught everything that he needs to survive in Hell, and is put to the test one day when he is forced to leave the settled area that he has known all of his life. The adventure that follows is filled with action, suspense and even a little perversion.

The story is a synthesis of allusions to ancient mythologies and McCoy's love of philosophy. Anyone familiar with King Sisyphus will recognize the futility of Father Klein's mission: leading a flock to salvation in a world where God cannot see their submission. A Stoicist will recognize their ethos in the protector/teacher of young Turi, Galen, who has many secrets in his own past.

The major flaw of the story, in my opinion, is that it took me some time to get into it. By page 100, I was flying through it, and the second time I read it, it was much faster. An author who spends too much time explaining the details of the world they have created can distract from the plot, and McCoy errs on the side of caution, throwing the reader into Hell without explaining the rules. Once you've figured out the basics of Hellstone and dyitzu meat, the story moves at a quick pace.

I would reccommend this book to fantasy fans of all genres. Anyone who has an interest in martial philosophy, classic mythology and questioning the basics of morality and the universe would find this book engaging and thought-provoking. As the title states, this is a good book all around, and as a first novel it is exceptional. Will be pre-ordering the sequels (if that's an option).

Go To Hell

Normally, I wouldn't say this unless I was talking to someone I hated, but you should really go to Hell, Shaun McCoy's Hell that is. Even Hell Has Knights is a fantastic read filled with exceptional detail. I felt like I was standing right beside the damned and experiencing their woes and their delights as their stories unfolded. Each page kept me entertained and wanting more and like any good story, when this book came to an end, I wanted it to keep going. Many times I found myself rooting for Arturus and his friends and other times hoping characters would suffer their second deaths. I look forward to the rest of the books in this series.

Great read!

Loved this book! The world is fascinating, the style is captivating and rich. Once I got into the story, after the first few chapters, I could not put it down.

The characters are very well developed and I could relate to a few and I was puzzled and intrigued by others. Overall Even Hell Has Knights is an amazing adventure in a very unique setting.

One thing I appreciate in fiction, and especially science fiction is the eternal questions of love, ethics and human values embedded in the plot, and McCoy does it wonderfully in Even Hell Has Knights! What better way to explore morals than in a place where everyone is damned.

Well, almost everyone...

Even Hell Can Be Fun

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 gennaio 2013

Having known Shaun McCoy and his family for many years, I was delighted to learn of this first novel. And if this review is biased, I plead guilty.
Shaun has created an intriguing setting, bringing to mind the alien worlds of "Dune" and "The Left Hand of Darkness". He has spun a good yarn, weaving together adventure, mystery, and "human" introspection in a well-paced romp through Hell. Some of his not-so-subtle musings on organized religion may ruffle some feathers, but he maintains a nice balance between thoughtful questioning and skepticism. McCoy largely avoids stereotyping his characters, and this reader felt these were both plausible beings - perhaps even "human" in a not-so-human place - and sympathetic ones as well. As a long-time science fiction addict, I was most impressed with this first foray into what I hope is only the first of many more imaginative journeys. I strongly recommend this book to not only science fiction fans, but also readers who enjoy something out of the ordinary. I am looking forward to the sequel.
