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.”

New Post
I've have completely rewritten my article about The Devil's time in Shropshire to reflect my new research. You can read all about Owd Scratch and why Shropshire really is his county by following the link below-

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.

…booklet says of #TheDevil: “Lack of essential humanity; emphasis on material things to the detriment of others. Destructive force.”
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…
What to do when I have a tedious work task to complete, and there is lightning nearby so the ham radio is disconnected anyway? Time to rock out while being productive... Currently on repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdPB6GN0gwo #TheDevil'sBlood #VoodooDust

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.
I picked up an #AliceCooper #Comic for s&g. But it's lots of fun.
#JustHeard a #BlowHard say #ArtificialIntellignce is the ##PrimaryTool of #TheDevil lol
#Bookoftheday - I'm racing through them! The Madman's Library by Edward Brooke-Hitching hits the spot for anyone who likes their publications off-kilter, blasphemous, magical or just downright odd. I like his Devil's Atlas and the Phantom Atlas too.
I love my header so much, shout out to Jack Chick for unintentionally creating the most goddamn based images
When your Bit.ly link counter suggests that you may have turned into #TheDevil...
The Devil bloody loves Shropshire. Indeed, one Christmas he decided to spend it in Jackfield. You can read my retelling of that occasion below!
