The Devil's Library

2003

Amy is invited to dinner with the devil in hell; one guest of 13 at a sumptuous banquet, where no one can eat for knowing what will begin afterwards. Amy, however, is distracted by the devil's library; a collection of all the books ever burned by man...

Based on the graphic story Dinner with the Devil (1995) by Jesse Reklaw Opens in a new window and Amy Luther Opens in a new window, originally published in Concave Up #5.
