“Interview with the Devil” is not just a journey into the macabre but a psychological thriller that tests the boundaries of reality and the battles waged between good and evil. Follow the story of Joseph Banbury, a man who, haunted by his past, finds himself face-to-face with the ultimate source of darkness—the Devil himself. What starts as a skeptic’s quest for truth spirals into a dark path of discovery and confrontations with the metaphysical.

Michael Harbron masterfully crafts a narrative that is both hauntingly beautiful and profoundly disturbing. This book will not only keep you on the edge of your seat but also challenge your perceptions of morality and fate. It’s the perfect companion for those long, dark October nights, offering a sophisticated blend of horror and philosophical musings on the nature of evil.
