Francis finds himself submerged in a world of sexual promiscuity and black magic. He also warrants the attraction of several transsexuals, among them Stella, the devil's bastard child. Francis has been tasked with informing the naive Stella of his paternal lineage. In return for this favor, the devil endows Francis with age-reducing soap, and penis-enhancing cream. The devil also gives him a fortune-telling hand mirror, making him rich beyond his wildest dreams. In order to complete his task, Francis plots with Stella's girlfriends and the demon Madra, anything to help him convince Stella that he is the devil's son. The awkward hilarity culminates in a blow-out at Satan's London mansion.

ISBN: 9780304366361
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 1600
Book Description
With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better. Jonathon Green has spent the last seven years on a vast project: to research in depth the English slang vocabulary and to hunt down and record written instances of the use of as many slang words as possible. This has entailed trawling through more than 4000 books - plus song lyrics, TV and movie scripts, and many newspapers and magazines - for relevant material. The research has thrown up some fascinating results

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
The zombie - a soulless corpse raised from the grave to do its master's bidding - may have had its factual basis in the voodoo ceremonies of the West Indies, but it is in fiction, movies, video games and comics that the walking dead have flourished.

Lansdale, Brian Lumley, Graham Masterton, Kim Newman, Michael Marshall Smith, Lisa Tuttle, Karl Edward Wagner and many more.
