I, Lucifer

I, Lucifer
Glen Duncan

So, the Devil has written a book. And it's a fucking good book too. Lucifer has been given a second chance at redemption- the catch being- that he has to live a virtuous life for a month in a human guise. (Fat chance of that.) Satan inhabits writer Declan Gunn's substandard body and partakes in every earthly delight available.

This is a book that reminds people that it's fun to be bad. 'I, Lucifer' is a book which shows people that actually, there's a reason most people don't follow the Christian dictates of morality, and that the Devil isn't that bad really... until he's overseeing your torture in the pits of hell. It's a novel of decadence including drugs and prostitutes, drinking and the pleasure of a 99 ice cream. It's funny, and clever, and a really good read.

Check it out.

Buy it here from www.waterstones.com or from your local bookstore.

  1. In fact, it's the literary equivalent of 'I want to be evil' by Eartha Kitt.
