Sam, a teenager killed in a car accident, wakes up in a very strange afterlife. He struggles to make sense of his surroundings and to understand why he's there; and soon discovers bizarre rules and rituals enforced by "The Management." This is not what Sam thought the afterlife would be. Other residents befriended by Sam join him in venturing out into their dark, mysterious environment to look for answers. The underworld, it turns out, is not only dangerous, it is occupied by strange creatures in a world equally difficult to wrap one's head around. Sam's friends can't shed much light on the meaning of this new world, but they can help him avoid some of the painful repercussions of disobeying The Management's rules. The Afterlife - First Steps into Hell is the first book in the fantasy series, The Four Brothers. The series chronicles the otherworldly battles and other challenges the brothers face as they pursue the fulfillment of a mysterious ancient prophecy.
