Betelguese A Trip Through Hell

"Betelguese" by Jean de Esque is an early 20th century narrative poem that plunges into a surreal and terrifying hellscape. The story follows a journey through a fantastical inferno within the star Betelguese, filled with sin, punishment, and cosmic horror. The poem uses vivid imagery to depict a horrifying realm of tormented souls and demonic creatures, revealing the consequences of moral failings. Combining mythology, dark fantasy, and allegory, it presents a chilling exploration of despair as the protagonists confront spectral beings and grapple with their inner demons in a nightmarish landscape. Through evocative language and expansive visions, "Betelguese" meditates on existence and the dark fate awaiting those who succumb to evil.
