By Nicholas Ponticello

Deal Ends: Tue 30th June

We’ve all heard God’s side of the story—but Satan has a story too.Heaven has been modernized. Angels carry iPhones. God is taking antidepressants and seeing a therapist in London. The Devil lives in the East Bay, serves coffee to university students, and flies kites at the Berkeley Marina. A retelling of the fall of Satan from the point of view of the Prince of Darkness himself, Satan’s Diary follows Lucifer from ancient Mesopotamia to twenty-first-century America in his quest to understand the human race.Lucifer is God’s attempt at perfection. But Lucifer betrays God to live among the mortals on Earth, making enemies of God and God’s many followers. Lucifer is just like you and me, looking for love in all the wrong places and trying to eke out a living on a quickly evolving planet. But when Lucifer falls head over heels for a mortal girl amid the seventeenth-century witch trial madness, he must risk everything for a shot at true love. Instead of bolting, as he has been doing for thousands of years, he must stay and face his true nature.This irreverent retelling of a well-known tale will find an eager audience among readers who enjoy a witty story of love and loss across the ages—great for fans of The Song of Achilles, Interview with the Vampire, and Outlander.
