Doing more reading in mangas and found `～めぇし`. Here is the sentence:

> ここは地獄じゃある **めぇし**! お前が死にそうな顔すんなよ！

I perceived this as "This isn't hell." Though, it confused me when saw
**めぇし**. I always thought it was `まい` or meant to be `ねぇし`. Can someone clear
this up?

Is ～めぇし a possible typo?
No, this `めぇ` isn't a typo. It's a colloquial form of the negator `まい`, in
which the vowel sequence /ai/ is replaced with the long vowel /eː/. You'll
hear this sort of change in all sorts of words, not just in `ない` → `ねぇ`.

The sentence `ここは地獄じゃあるまいし` means "It's not like this is hell".
