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.

Darkness.

Screams 
of 
pain

horror.
A

SATAN
.
Silence 
in

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.
