Standard evangelicals actually believe that everyone will receive eternal life--the righteous or saved in heaven and the wicked in hell. To exist in inescapable torment endlessly is of course eternal life, just not what many people mean when they specifically use the phrase. The ironic contradiction of Yahweh or Jesus having to extend eternal life to someone when they will already live forever is extreme, but this is the typical evangelical stance on hell: the damned will live forever in agony and separation from God, although it would be impossible to be away from an omnipresent bring unless one did not exist.
Hells of (hopefully) fiction, like the egregiously contra-Biblical hell of Dante's Inferno or the supposed non-theological hell of Stephen King's Revival, often differ from whatever arbitrary details evangelicals believe mark the Biblical fate of the wicked when it comes to just that, the specific details. The Null of Revival is presented as a realm of eternal slavery and torture (though the Null is an illusion or not for everyone like the narrator assumes in light of other stories by King), which is similar to the evangelical misconception of hell except for the creatures there being like enormous Lovecraftian insects, everyone allegedly going there after death regardless of their identity, and the suffering not even having the pretense of a moral nature.
It is not ant-like beings or the possibility of being consumed by Mother or other eldritch entities that makes the Null worse than almost any other afterlife in any established philosophy or fictional story. It is the "universalist" nature of this hell, the intent behind the torment only being the sadistic whims of the supernatural creatures, and the assumed eternity of conscious existence there. Even so, the concept of the Null is still fairly close to the evangelical notion of hell simply by the latter being eternal in duration and almost unavoidable.
No, the Biblical hell would not involve insectoid "demons" tormenting or overseeing people. It was still originally created for demons to be punished, not humans (Matthew 25:41). They are not able to abusively prey on humans, much less in order to enact "justice," for emotionalistic cruelty could not be morally permissible and they were the intended inhabitants to be destroyed in the consuming lake of fire, which is for humans the second death (Revelation 20:15). Satan himself is to be punished in hell as opposed to being given the status of its egoistic "ruler."
Although the evangelical hell is logically impossible because eternal torment cannot by default be just for temporary sins of a limited number--and the nature of hell is not that everyone continuously sins and thus deserves eternal torment since the Bible plainly says that death of the soul awaits people (Ezekiel 18:4, Matthew 10:28, 2 Peter 2:6)--the Null of Revival is in some ways not different at all from what is popularly believed, on the basis of errors and pathetic assumptions, to be the hell of the Christian worldview. Both are terrible; both are unjust or amoral at best, and both could only be worse by the degrees or kinds of suffering involved.
