With more clever, dark humor and zany silliness, Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo Fauster back for thirds in another laugh-out-loud installment (#3) of the popular 'Circles of Heck' series. Welcome to Blimpo, where the, um, plump kids go. After his second escape from Bea ''Elsa'' Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, Milton Fauster makes his way to Blimpo -- the circle of the otherworldly reform school, Heck, where he's sure his friend Virgil is sentenced. What Milton finds in Blimpo horrifies him. The overweight dead kids spend most of their time running on giant hamster wheels called DREADmills that detect and exploit their deepest fears. The rest they spend eating Hambone Hank's barbecue -- mystery meat that is delicious but suspiciously (to Milton, anyway) haunting.
