Short story; from the anthology Lawyers in Hell; William Safire interviews Satan in his office in hell in the Hall of Injustice... an iffy proposition.
Janet Ellen Morris (born May 25, 1946) is a United States author. She began writing in 1976 and has since published more than 20 novels, many co-authored with David Drake or her husband Chris Morris. She has contributed short fiction to the shared universe fantasy series Thieves World, and edited the Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell. Most of her work has been in the fantasy and science fiction genres, although she has also written several works of non-fiction.
Morris was elected to the New York Academy of Sciences in 1980.
In 1995, Morris and her husband and frequent co-writer Christopher Morris founded M2 Tech. Since that time, their writing output has decreased in proportion to the success of the company, which works with U.S. federal and military agencies on non-lethal weapon systems and software.
Did not really expect this to be so short - nevertheless enjoyed it. Very descriptive and imaginative with some humour thrown in - almost smelt the sulphuric fumes from Hell. Liked it very much. 5 stars for atmospheric content.
What a great short story. I absolutely loved it and wanted more. It's great little addition to the "Lawyers in Hell" shared universe. The tongue in cheek humor had me laughing. Of note: I'll never think of William Safire the same way again.
A short free read, ten minutes at most, to introduce this author's work. Not really a genre I read but very well written and quite humorous. The Devil's personal assistant is Marilyn Monroe and the interviewer once wrote speeches for Nixon. Well worth a download.
Short excerpt from new Lawyers in Hell novel. Served to remind me of why I started collecting and reading this series over twenty years ago and maybe it is time to go back and reread from the beginning.
A great short satire of an interview with the devil, William Safire has the opportunity to do this interview with His Satanic Majesty, you will be enthralled with how the interview goes. I look forward to reading other pieces from this author Janet Morris.
A cool concept. Not overtly scary, but interesting nonetheless. I would have liked more emotion embedded into the situation. I liked the bat/cat ... Cute addition!
