Hell Bent
Book Playlist

Hell Bent

by Leigh Bardugo

This playlist tracks Galaxy “Alex” Stern’s descent into Lethe-adjacent underworlds: claustrophobic textures, eerie minimalist motion, and distant, ritual-like resonance that mirrors clandestine rescue plans and forbidden doors. Instrumentals dominate to keep a steady, high-focus suspense, while two carefully chosen vocal pieces add a subdued “purgatory” human voice at key moments.
