The Interview Series, Book Two
By F.W. Shannon

What if the Devil isn't evil?
What if everything humanity has been taught about Lucifer is only one side of the story? And what if the creature we've blamed for our worst behavior has spent eternity holding us accountable for it?
David Hollis has everything a man could want. His bestselling book, An Interview With God, has made him wealthy beyond imagination. Hollywood has made him famous. He owns a magnificent estate in the Hamptons, enjoys financial freedom, and answers to no one.
And he is utterly miserable.
His marriage has collapsed, his children are gone, and the extraordinary life he once dreamed of has become an empty existence. Alone in his enormous house, David has begun contemplating whether life is worth continuing.
Then someone shouts, "Cannonball!"
A stranger wearing a Union Jack Speedo has just launched himself into David's swimming pool.
The stranger is Lucifer.
And he wants an interview.
What follows is an outrageous, frequently hilarious, and increasingly uncomfortable conversation with the most notorious being in creation. Assuming the appearances and personalities of familiar celebrities, Lucifer takes David on a journey through religion, politics, war, racism, evolution, greed, and the nature of sin itself.
But the Devil has a grievance.
For thousands of years, humanity has blamed him for its cruelty, violence, corruption, and moral failures. Every atrocity demands a villain, and Lucifer has become the most convenient villain of all.
He has a very different account of his purpose.
He insists that human beings possess an extraordinary capacity for both goodness and evil, and that every person is free to choose between them. Lucifer's role, he claims, is to administer the consequences of those choices.
And he is furious that humanity refuses to accept responsibility for its own behavior.
As the interview unfolds, David begins to discover that the most disturbing thing about speaking with the Devil isn't what Lucifer reveals about Hell, Heaven, or the Almighty.
It's what he reveals about us.
Provocative, irreverent, philosophical, and often darkly funny, An Interview With Evil challenges readers to reconsider the nature of good and evil, the meaning of free will, and the excuses we invent to escape responsibility for our actions.
Because perhaps the greatest deception in human history is the belief that someone else is responsible for the evil we choose to do.
