Virgil & Botis: A Journey through the Seven Deadly Sins
Each and every day that Virgil goes to school, he must endure the worst mockeries at the hands of his classmates. They call him a “Devil,” a “Little Satan,” and a variety of other names—all because of his strange appearance—all because he has two strange nubs coming out of his forehead.
“I’m not a Devil!” Virgil shouts one morning, eventually lashing out on his classmates and erratically striking one of them over the head with a textbook. “I’m not!” he shouts again, as his classmate drops to the ground, passing out from the force of the blow.
Virgil’s feeble attempt at revenge causes him to get suspended from school for seven days and, when he does, his beloved father Johann gets so disappointed in him that he calls the boy a “Devil” in a bout of anger and casts him out of the home.
“Perhaps I am a Devil after all,” Virgil thinks. “If my father thinks so, then I must be!”
“Are you now?” calls out a voice from the distance. “Are you a Devil, indeed? Then to Hell we shall go!”
Virgil turns around and notices that a demon is standing behind him—a demon named Botis, who introduces himself as the demon of the past and the future.
For each of the seven days of Virgil’s suspension, Botis brings Virgil to a different time period and shows him a different deadly sin. Botis shows him Envy during the time of the Roman Republic, Pride during the time of the French Revolution and Lust during the Black Plague.
In Virgil & Botis, Hell opens up its gates and brings the reader into a bizarre and hilarious world of adventure and sin! So now, reach out to the hand of Botis and let him show you the Seven Deadly Sins!
