Edit: misspelling 
Nope, intentional.
I’m with Jasper Fforde on this one; this is how it should be spelled.
You know he’s right.

There is a special Hell for people like you and Jasper Fforde, and it is called “Múspell”

Nope again. If anything, fahre ich zur Hölle.

By the way, I’d not come across Jasper Fforde until you name checked him. I’ll have to find some of his works; they sound a laugh. I’m suffering from a lack of Terry Pratchett in my literary diet and could do with a substitute, even if this Fforde chap appears to struggle with spelling.
Fforde is Welsh…
And yes, he is a suitable substitute for Pratchett.
Basically, his books are set in several, but sometimes interlocked, alternate timelines / parallel universes. Intelligent, witty, fun. The kind of books you can enjoy more than once, and still find new details.
