Hell gets a bad rap--it's certainly a great motivator for any number
of plots and characters attempting to escape from the fiery flames
of perdition!

Lots come to mind, but many of them are already mentioned in your
comments.[1] I’d forgotten about the Shaw, Anderson, and Myers[2], so
yay commenters!

Tad Williams’ Happy Hour in Hell (the second of his Bobby Dollar
trilogy) was almost entirely set in Hell.

Although my knee keeps jerking in the direction of Roger Zelazny, I
don’t think he fits. Hellrides? Yes. Hell Tanner? Hell Yes. And
Dilvish was banished there, too.[3] But I don’t think any of Zelazny’s
works spent significant time in hell.

[1] The Banks, Pratchett, and Liz Williams for example.
[2] Or is that more properly “Myers Myers”?
[3] Well, he was turned to stone, and his soul was banished there.
 
In Amber / Chaos, I think Merlin's brother
keeps a suite of hells for the purpose of
tormenting enemies, and he offers their use.
But we don't visit.

Aha - thanks.  I do not remember the five Merlin books super well. At
the time, I was sorely disappointed that there wasn't more Corwin, and
so I kind of hastily raced through them looking for Corwin and some
resolutions. I should probably read them again.

IIRC we put several scenes in Hell in _Hell On High_.  I think I worked
Maxwell's demons into it.

Has anyone mentioned Anderson's _Operation Chaos_?  It's kind of episodic
being a fix-up, but one of the episodes has the protags venturing into
Hell on a rescue mission for what reason I can't quite recall.
