Are You There God? It's Me, Satan

Novelette - Approx. 8,027 Words - Fiction/Horror/Humor With dark and sometimes laugh-out-loud humor, Stefan Bourque shows us an alternate view of one of the most famous theological icons in history. Recently laid off from his job in a financial institution, Satan finds himself low on funds and plagued by a series of misfortunes that leave both he and his cat, Beezee, out on the streets of New York City. Taking refuge in a cheap hotel, Satan hides away from a cold, cruel world until a mysterious note arrives, calling him out. Funny, frightening, and most importantly, thought-provoking, "Are You There God? It's Me, Satan" is another of Bourque's writings that seems designed to challenge contemporary American perceptions--something this writer does with darkness, compassion, and even on occasion, with a chuckle.
