Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go is a series of books by Dale E. Basye. It follows the adventures of Milton and Marlo Fauster, who, after dying when a giant marshmallow bear explodes, are sent to Heck, which is Hell for children. There, they meet the Principal of Darkness, Bea "Elsa" Bubb, and things start to get a bit insane. The series is set to have 9 books, each one chronicling their journey through one of Heck's circles. Eight of them have currently been released, with the last one scheduled for an unknown date. The series is known for its surreal, bizarre humor, and its [[HurricaneofPuns many, many puns]].
