Orlando Reade’s enlightening and enthusiastic new book, “What in Me Is Dark: The Revolutionary Afterlife of Paradise Lost,” resurfaces James’s work to make the point that, in the Luciferian figure of Ahab, Herman Melville had foreseen the “rise of a personality who, in championing American values, would lead America astray.”

The New York Times · Book Review: ‘What in Me Is Dark,’ by Orlando ReadeBy Ed Simon

It's almost Halloween!

Time to get into the scary mood if you like your romances dark, intense and violent.
Because when a deal’s made with The Devil, someone always has to pay.

By 51, Miranda Fleming had become a world famous artist. She lacked nothing, except a relationship. She often joked she was the oldest living virgin.

He's the actual Devil! Satan. Lucifer, the Antichrist, the Beast, the ultimate evil.
And now it was time to collect on the deal made about Miranda years ago.

He’d kept her pure since then, just so he could torment and torture her.

That is, until he tires of her.

Well yeah. 🫣 Don’t have too much more to say in relation to me and my situation this evening, heh. I’m in a greedy, self-centered mode at the moment, and it could become a bigger problem for me if I pretend otherwise.

Cards really got my number tonight.

I’ll resume my interpretation after dinner, since our order just arrived.

Next! 2. The Challenge (Pluto) uncovers “the obstacles or changes that need to be addressed.” The Devil is right at home in this position, I’m afraid…

My associations with this card include: materialism and greed, pleasures of the flesh, recreational substances…that which starts out as fun and then stops being fun…

It’s no secret at this point that everyone wants to have sex with the devil. This is such a non-statement that it is, at this point, much harder to find a depiction where the devil is anything less than a caricature of the most erotically charged image available to the imagination of the creator. There’s just one problem: nobody can tell me who the devil is.
