"It was the night before Halloween and there was a certain uncanny magic in the air, a sense of something momentous about to occur. Something special and life-altering. Each of the gathered acolytes felt it deep in their bones." 

It's the night before Halloween and a satanic mass takes place in the woods. The devil assigns his followers a mission - deliver a bounty of virgin souls to him on Halloween. As the day begins, so does Count Victor von Gravemore's horror movie marathon as people tune in, not knowing real life horrors are about to ensue. 

The POV used for this story made for an interesting read. It was different compared to typical clichés because the MC was no devil worshipper. Micah's girlfriend was a Satanist and he would do anything for her, including attending a satanic mass. Once he realized what was happening, it was too late to turn back, and he had no choice but to participate in a mass killing alongside his girlfriend. 

Kill for Satan was a straight up bloodfest with satanic worship, human sacrifice, ritualistic orgies, and gory fun. It felt like an old school slasher movie and a black metal music video had a baby and produced this novella! Not for the faint of heart, but I do recommend this for lovers of blood and gore!
