Synopsis

In "Satan's Diary," Leonid Andreyev delves into the profound complexities of human existence through the lens of the devil himself. This innovative narrative, written in an introspective and confessional style, offers readers a surreal yet harrowing exploration of morality, anguish, and the enigmatic nature of evil. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Russian existentialism, the work employs rich symbolism and psychological depth, reflecting Andreyev's fascination with the human condition amid a rapidly changing society. The diary format allows Satan to recount his observations of humanity's follies, presenting a provocative commentary on faith, freedom, and despair. Leonid Andreyev, a pivotal figure in the Russian Symbolist movement, was deeply influenced by his own tumultuous life experiences, including the moral crises of his contemporaries. The author experienced a spectrum of existential struggles following the upheavals of the Russo-Japanese War and the Bolshevik Revolution. These events profoundly informed his narrative, providing a fertile ground for his exploration of human essence and the philosophical inquiries expressed through Satan, an embodiment of both observer and participant in human suffering. "Satan's Diary" is essential for readers seeking to engage with a unique philosophical discourse that challenges perceptions of good and evil. Andreyev's compelling prose and darkly humorous insights make this work a captivating read for those interested in existential literature, Russian history, and the eternal struggle within the human soul.

Undead Warlock

Sean Stone

Eddie has to save his friends, stop the apocalypse, and avoid eternal damnation. And he’s only got three days to do it… 
Eddie Lancaster is dead. His final act was one of sacrifice in the town of Cedarstone. He thought self-sacrifice would buy him eternal bliss in the afterlife. He was wrong. Luckily for him, Lucifer is willing to offer him a deal. 
If he returns to life and retrieves the Ambrotos Dagger then Lucifer will allow Eddie to rest in peace for eternity. All his past sins will be expunged. The task seems easy enough until Eddie tries to do it. 
The dagger is nowhere to be found and the world is very much changed. Eddie’s explosive sacrifice exposed the supernatural community to the world and not everyone is very happy about it. Old enemies, supernatural and human, emerge from the woodwork to exact revenge on Eddie, and he soon finds himself in the midst of a war between vampires, sorcerers, necromancers, and zombies. 
As he draws closer to finding the dagger, talk of the apocalypse comes to the fore, and he realises the exiled angels of the Dead Realm have not been entirely honest about their intentions. A far more catastrophic war is looming on the horizon and one wrong step could trigger the end of the world. 
Eddie soon realises that being dead does not mean he’s untouchable. He still has friends his enemies can hurt and his eternal salvation is on the line. He has to retrieve the dagger, save his friends, and make sure that the world doesn’t end in the process. He’s got three days to do it and the clock is ticking.
