Whos read the sequal, 'Closing Time'?, (spoilers for that book)


if you have could you please explain to me what exactly happened at the end?

I know it involved the president shooting off the nukes and everybody living underground, but why was hell collapsing and why was general groves dead in 1970, and what happened to Sammy Singer in the apocolypse, and what was with the strange scene at the end involving Kid Sampson and McWatt?

i know im probably stupid but id still like to know

It isn't very clear, but from what I gathered hell was collapsing as neither god or the devil saw this apocalypse coming which has kinda undone the afterlife as well. I'm not sure, must admit I really didn't care for closing time at all
