Paradise Lost
About this book
"The biggest mistake any of us could make would be to underestimate Satan."
The seventeenth century and present day are seamlessly intertwined as Satan vents to an audience about her frustration at being cast out of Heaven and her thoughts on oppression. When she finds out that God has created delicate new creatures called "humans, " she crafts a plan for revenge and betrayal on the Almighty.
Erin Shields turns Heaven and Hell upside down in this witty, modern, feminist retelling of John Milton's epic poem about the first battle between good and evil. Shields's wickedly smart and funny script questions the reasons of the universe, the slow process of evolution and the freedom of knowledge. The debate over right and wrong has never been so satisfying.

SATAN
:
I
woke
up
on
a
lake
of
fire.
Darkness
visible
was
all
I
could
see
as
I
writhed
with
the
pain
of
inexhaustible
torment,
and
breathed
in
the
stench
of
burning
sulfur,
charred
flesh,
singed
hair,
and
melted
wings.
My
immortal
form,
which
had
once
reflected
the
radiance
of
Heaven,
now
convulsed
with
the
strain
of
regeneration,
oily
burns
bubbling
up
to
the
surface
of
my
angelic
skin.
My
cries
joined
a
chorus
of
agony
bellowed
by
a
choir
of
my
fallen
compatriots,
and
I
stared
back
up
through
the
endless
tunnel
down
which
we’d
been
hurled,
cursing
the
Almighty
for
sentencing
us
to
Hell.
