Description: "To The Devil - A Diva! is a dark and exciting novel about a low-budget 60's and 70's horror film star who doesn't seem to age... because she sold her soul to the devil at the age of ten! In the present day, her resources are drying up, so she returns to the north of England to appear in "Menswear", a risque British TV soap opera. But the current star of "Menswear" is furious to learn of his new co-star, and fears that she has come to steal his soul. Darkness is brewing, and devilish secrets are about to boil over in this thrilling and suspenseful novel of hidden evil and a flair for the dramatic." -- MidWest Book Review "Menswear, the prime-time soap opera that has taken Britain by storm, is about to get a new cast member: Karla Sorenson, the once-great star of low-budget horror films (Carnival of Flesh, among others). Lance Randall, the show's leading male star, is seriously concerned about Karla's arrival. He's not just worried that Karla might steal the show; he's also afraid that . . . well, she might steal his soul, too. A comedy about television, satanism, and lesbian vampires, the novel is a superbly written mix of crime fiction and campy horror (imagine Tim Dorsey or Bill Fitzhugh, only substantially more perverse). Fans of the author's previous novels (including Mad Dogs and Englishmen, 2002) will be pleased to note that Magrs is once again pushing the envelope, combining an outrageously over-the-top premise with a side dish of graphic sexuality. That combo will doubtless offend some, but it's all in good fun, and good fun it is. Magrs is a true original, and this one can only bolster his reputation as a cult favorite." -- Booklist, March 2005
