An anonymous demon, deemed "too fragile" for most fieldwork, is now on duty at a monastery, attempting to trip up the monks who must constantly pray for a long-dead wealthy benefactor. While on the job, the bored demon becomes ensnared by a sadistic exorcist who's working hard to undermine the laws of good and evil. As the narrator tells his story, the reader must wonder what makes someone good or evil or just human.
This novella is alternately funny, thought-provoking, confusing, and absurd. I'd recommend it to anyone who read Good Omens and wanted more details about the day-to-day existence of angels and demons.
