Lucifer
The one thing different about me, that no one knew was that I’ve always had a presence with me. You know the feeling you get when you’re in a room alone and you get that shiver when someone enters the room; well mine was much more than that. I could actually see the presence! It didn’t talk, didn’t move, it only appeared and disappeared. I felt the presenc all the time, but I could only see it at night. In the beginning when I saw the figure I felt the deepest, darkest fear one could imagine. Eventually I got used to it and began to expect its arrival every night.

The Deal
James Green’s “Lucifer: The Interview” is the story of Christian L. Smith. He has a great liking to the color black, has always wondered why his middle name was Lucifer and what the feeling of a presence was that he has always felt. Christian has many questions to be answered and his journey will reveal the answers.
There are a few theological opinions given within the pages that I did not agree with, but it also gives a different perspective of the present society. Even though this book was short, the print was really small, which made it hard to read, overall, it was a good book.
