Book 4 of 9: Clovenhoof

See all formats and editions

Life at St Cadfan’s is never dull. There’s the cellar full of unexplained corpses. There’s the struggle to find food when the island is placed under quarantine. And there’s that peculiar staircase in the cellar… Being a demon in Hell has its own problems. There’s the increasingly impossible torture quotas to meet. There’s the entire horde of Hell waiting for you to slip up and make a mistake. And there’s that weird staircase in the service tunnels… Brother Stephen of St Cadfan’s and Rutpsud of the Sixth Circle, natural enemies and the most unnatural of friends, join forces to solve a murder mystery, save a rare species from extinction and stop Hell itself exploding. The fourth novel in the Clovenhoof series, Hellzapoppin’ is an astonishing comedy featuring suicidal sea birds, deadly plagues, exploding barbecues, dancing rats, magical wardrobes, King Arthur’s American descendants, mole-hunting monks, demonic possession and way too much seaweed beer.

Make friends with the devil next door...

Satan has been fired from his job and forced to spend his retirement in English suburbia. The Clovenhoof comedy series follows Satan (now living on earth under the name of Jeremy Clovenhoof) as he tries to fit in with modern society. He is equally helped and hampered by his neighbours: Nerys Thomas, the man-eating woman upstairs who treats dating as a competitive sport, and Ben Kitchen, the geeky bookshop owner who lives in the flat next door.

The whole series introduces a range of lovable characters...

The Archangel Michael, vain and pompous and Clovenhoof's self-appointed guardian.
Joan of Arc, the ambitious but naive teenage saint.
Rutspud, the scheming devil who will put in a lot of effort to avoid work.
The lovable monks on the island monastery of Bardsey.

The series contains seven official novels but the world of Clovenhoof also contains short story collections and three extra books about Clovenhoof's involvement with current events:

Clovenhoof and the Trump of Doom
Clovenhoof's Diary
Clovenhoof: The Isolation Chronicles

Another hysterical, well written book by these two. I've said it before, and I'll say it again- this series should be a television show!

I thought this book started slowly and I lost interest for a bit. However, it picked up and I really enjoyed it. I loved the characters. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

This is very well written and sooo funny. I don't care for some of the gross details which strike me as something which would appeal to 7th grade boys, but I am a fan for life of this author. So far, I have read every one of the books and have enjoyed them all immensely. Keep them coming - I have years left to read and unlimited enthusiasm.

A real surprise at the end. Love the "human" interactions between demons, humans and the damned. Can't wait to read the next one!!

I encountered Clovenhoof, the first in this series when it popped up as a recommended book based on my penchant for satire. Now I have read through the entire series and this is one of the best. Highly entertaining and while satire, a lovely message runs throughout the story. Kudos to rhe authors for their use of historical figures ranging from Judas to Nero, Oscar Wilde, Florence Nightengale, the brilliant artist MC Escher and my favorite childhood author C.S. Lewis.

Best one of the series yet

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019

I really love the cleverness of these two writers. The first few books of the Clovenhoof series are an absolute riot and I really love the twists and turns as the stories play out. But this book was heads and tails more mysterious, making it that much more enjoyable. I love the hints of history from the previous books, which in my opinion is really smart writing. The book can easily stand on its own, but I love having the history to round out my experience. Plus, this book really had me guessing right up until the end. It was quite an adventure and, though I did not know where the story was taking me sometimes, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride! I hate to be so cryptic about the actual story, but I don’t want to give anything away. It is an absolute must-read in my opinion, though, especially if you love the series.

This series is filling that Sir Terry sized hole that I have had since his passing. Laugh out loud parts and parts that make you think. Great series!

It is alright.

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016

The first two books a pretty good and second two are just ok. I think the biggest problem is Satan is missing from the 3rd and 4th and he is what makes this series really fun. I'm looking forward to reading the 5th which brings Satan back as the central character.

Another great read in the Clovenhoof series with mainly new characters being introduced. Loved the bonkers storyline, the puns, the great references and still have loads of questions that I do hope will eventually be answered in other books. Why were Potter and her friends damned in hell? Who and what is Jessie? Will we see more of Rutspud and Stephen? Will Help end up as a thermal resort? Who knows? Do even the authors??

good lighthearted humour, with an interesting (but obvious?) sélection of candidates to end up in Hell. Well worth the price!

Hells bells and buggy wheels....more laughter from the Authors who introduced us to the inner workings of the Committees of Heaven and Hell, Jessie the Wonder Dog of Wales, Bardsey apples, Brother Manfred's artistic efforts on priceless tapestries, mysterious staircases and so much more. Another lighthearted, silly and oft times, hilariously funny romp, I am really looking forward to the release of their next offering, due in April, who knows which of their characters, will end up where, doing what.

A charming alternative love story!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2021

A monk and a demon find friendship and love (of the brotherly kind!) on a small Welsh island.
That's the premise but along the way there are other additions that make this probably my favourite of the Clovenhoof books that do not include the Fallen One. A sleepwalking monk. Curious deaths. Wardrobes. Monks piss and jelly babies! Yes, it's all here at St Cadfan's!
The authors are adept at putting together an absurd and amusing storyline filled with interesting characters and nutty situations. They work well together and I'm sure a hilarious time is had during the creation of these charming stories.
I have deducted a star because sometimes words are missing which sends my OCD brain off on a tangent. CS Lewis and Tolkien it is not but entertaining nonetheless.

How often can you really laugh out loud or until tears are streaming when reading a book? This is one of them - at least it was for me.
Allthough it is the fourth book in the series, you don't need the other three books to get into the story. I think it is the funniest of them all, so far.
The story is fluctuating between two locations: hell with some of its inhabitants and a Welsh island - monastery with the monks living there. Soon enough there will be connection between the two worlds. Thanks to the authors! I needed that!
