It’s actually a really funny story about Satan wanting to get back into heaven and having a trial because his sentence is technically over. I was expecting something horrific scary terrorizing... and instead I got something very Chuck Palahniukish, I like Palahniuk, but I was just in the mood for something more in the traditional horror genre.
The writing is great. Although I did listen to this on audiobook by a great cast of voices... apparently it was also a show or movie or something on the sci-fi channel... bit confused on how it’s related.
The characters are good, Satan is very Satanic and wise in his sarcastic way, but when it came to my enjoyment, it lacked, hence the low rating. But definitely read more Clive Barker. This was also my first Clive Barker book/audiobook.

I think this is typical of Clive Barker so don’t read it if you haven’t read anything by him or don’t like his books .
TW - for everything
If you take away everything that will offend you, it’s pretty good prose and an interesting premise, the devil is on trial for crimes against humanity. The devil does very bad things.
I listened to the audiobook.
It’s a good production & quite short. I’m somewhat surprised that my library had the book.
3.5 stars

A very odd book that I can't tell what I think about it. Definitely dated and uncomfortable in parts especially when it comes to race and children.
Too short to really be something truly interesting.
I liked Dylan Baker as the devil on the audio book. He plays a lot of slimy amoral characters so this is right up his alley.
