Memnoch the Devil (The Vampire Chronicles)

About this book

Memnoch the Devil describes the vampire Lestats encounter with the Devil who calls himself Memnoch. He is taken on a journey through the whirlwind into Heaven Helll and the main epochs in the evolution of the universe. It is a radical retelling of the entirety of biblical history from the devils perspective. The devils charge is that he is not evil; in fact he despises it. Rather what he opposes is Gods tolerance of the existence of evil and suffering that plagues mankind and that in the beginning God allegedly had no interest in inviting man into His company in heaven. Memnoch in a long story short becomes the servant of humanity (and God) working to usher lost souls into Heaven. He invites Lestat to join him in the fight against evil and to bring all human souls from the gloom of Sheol to the paradise of Heaven.
