Status Updates From Der Einfall der Geister

had a catch-up via discord with hans, my freak in arms, and we were talking about the simple joy of going into bookshops and picking up random books you've never heard of instead of seeking out something specific. i mentioned this and the plot, because it seemed up their alley, and it turns out they have already read it. no book is too niche

always intrigued by how different authors characterise the devil. most of the time, they go for somewhat suave, whereas here he calls a sixteen year old a pussy and says fuck a lot. which is somehow eerier than the likes of mephisto. who was, admittedly, pretty damn silly, but the names given most of the other demons of faustian novels ive read (save luc) are escaping me in this sleepy state
