Although they say God is everywhere, he is nowhere to be found in these stories. Instead, Satan takes the driver's seat in the lives of five individuals, taking on various forms, titles, and names as he carefully seduces each of them. In "The Griffin," he transforms a promising young man into a killer. He becomes a pimp for a young woman in "The Harlot." In the guise of a prison warden, he recruits a prisoner in jail for the rest of his life. He comes to a young man in juvenile detention and molds him into something he can use, and he finds a politician on the campaign trail who will serve his purposes. As the tales of these five people intertwine and Satan prepares positions for them in hell, they soon learn that when you make a deal with the devil, you are bound-bound to lose, bound to suffer, and, most importantly, bound to eternal torture. In these five interconnected short stories, Satan recruits five troubled souls with the goal of preparing them for positions in hell's hierarchy. 9781491778944 1491778946 0 Fiction NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Ud_6jgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
