Summary
Where there is good there is Evil. Whether you buy into that or not it makes for excellent literature. Authors have always explored the subject with abandon, able to unleash dark fears without summoning them into reality or hearing them in withering hegemonic tones from the pulpit at our local church.
Our fear of the Devil, whatever his temptations and rewards, is amplified by the thought of eternal damnation in his hell house service.
In this volume our authors are all from Europe and see the Devil in ways that we recognise and yet are culturally distinct to the European mainland.
