Odd Devils

There once was an angel named Satan who’d lived as a simple mortal shepard, but died at the hands of a brutal fallen angel. His soul was remade into the cold-hearted, serpentine angel of the damned. He had no memory of his former humanity, and reigned over the abyss as the jailer of God for many centuries, until one day his icy heart was opened, and he had no choice but to leave Hell behind forever.
An evil wizard created an innocent child-like spirit in his own image. He mistreated the little boy made of stars, and forced the young entity to live on as a wicked copy of his own beastly self. The enslaved spirit fed on the wizard’s followers for many years, until fate intervened. Through the power of love and self-sacrifice the boy was released from the wizard’s influence, and able to finally gain his freedom.
A mortal woman fell in love with a dangerous demon, who came to love her in turn. They joined their souls together to become as one, but both died in the process, resulting in the birth of a terrifying new creation. The ravenous monster devoured so many before it was taken under Heaven’s wing, and transformed into the strange demonic angel of Satan’s orchard.
Angels, demons and humanity collide throughout the short stories of Odd Devils, weaving a tapestry of darkness and redemption, with the only certainty along the way being that love is as powerful a force as vile wickedness.
