Choose your Hellhole!

[Rosemary]

From the Fire Of Heaven by Russell Kirkpatrick -

Helig Holth - a deep dark pool at Adulok Down, where the Widuz Priest cast down captives as a sacrifice to The Earth Mother.

1. Am not very good at standing on ledges high above deep dark pools.
2. Nor do I like the sound of being a sacrifice.
3. Worst of all, most stories depict The Earth Mother as being good and
not wanting sacrifices made to her in that way!

Ray Bardbury's world in Fahrenheit 451 where book burning was institutionalised.

"Where they burn books, they will end in burning human beings." — Heinrich Heine in 1821.

fire is a dangerious thing then isnt it

 

[Nesacat]

So are books.

 

[steve12553]

So are the minds that absorb them.

 

[j d worthington]

Hadn't really thought of the future(?) Earth of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 in this context; but, given it as an option.... I think it just moved into my #1 spot of worst hellhole ever.....

 

[the smiling weirwood]

Yes, especially since they run over cute, brainy girls! NOOOO!

 

[hypocriticHarkonnen]

what else happens in Fahrenheit 451? and why do they burn books?

 

[Nesacat]

Spoiler warning:

In Fahrenheit 451, firemen start fires in order to burn books and the title is the temperature at which they burn the books.

It's a society where trivial information is good, and knowledge and ideas are bad. Guy Montag is a fireman undergoing a crisis of faith and who starts hiding books in his home. His wife turns him in, and he must answer the call to burn cache of books. He eventually winds up joining an outlaw band of scholars who keep the contents of books in their heads, waiting for the time society will once again need the wisdom of literature.
