For He Can Creep
by Siobhan Carroll
A deal with the devil - but with a twist.
Soul bartering and soul selling do make for thrilling stories but the concept of soul-rescuing is even better. I had a ton of questions:
1. Can it be done?
2. Is it permanent?
3. What is the price?
What followed in these few short pages was darn impressive. The devil at the crossroads is such a vivid image that often goes with this story so, For He Can Creep offered up a look behind the curtain where the crossroads can be anywhere and we get a peak into "The Adversary's" process of soul purchasing from pre-sale, during the sale and post soul-sale. And boy was it well executed. The poet was this close to losing his soul in the midst of what an outsider would consider to be a psychotic break.
The Cats - man, I am a dog person first and an animal person second. Cats are the bees knees and they just ooze otherworldliness. They were so catlike in that way that cats are - equal parts avenging angel and cute furball. So, yeah - Jeoffrey, Poppy, Black Tom and Nighthunter Moppet are EPIC heroes.
