Not since Screwtape Letters has there been such a devastatingly diabolical collection of correspondence. Master Tempter Slubgrip writes daily to trainee devil Dogwart--advising him on the temptation of a confused young Catholic, while he struggles to control his own ‘patient’--an older Catholic man who is facing a serious illness. Meanwhile Slubgrip has to watch his back, keep control of various under devils who are plotting to take control of his territory and send him to the banqueting house of the Father below. Gargoyle Code makes for un-put-downable reading at any time, but it is especially designed as a book to be read during Lent. The letters from the tempters begin on Shrove Tuesday and follow day by day, taking the reader on an entertaining, enlightening and sobering journey toward Easter Day.

By Peter J. Kreeft Taking his cue from the new literary genre invented by C. S. Lewis in Screwtape Letters, Peter Kreeft has gathered together fifteen spicy letters from Satan's agents below that allow the reader to spy into Hell's inter-office communication. Now that it is becoming more and more obvious that we are at war--not only cultural but spiritual war--it is also more necessary to understand our diabolical enemy and his strategy. Combining satire, humor and devilish insights, these fifteen letters from Snakebite to his trainee, Braintwister, provide a complete Satanic strategy for corrupting American society, public and private morality, and the Church. Focusing especially on the critical areas of sex, media, liturgy, theology and religious education, these letters reveal the inroads that Screwtape's satanic American counterparts of the 90s have made into subverting our modern culture. The Koran says: "Before shooting the arrow of truth, dip it in honey." This genre of devilish correspondence allows serious this-worldly social criticism to take the form of witty other-worldly letters.

This insightful, informative, and clever survey of Christian life is modeled on C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. Laymon's book presents the life of faith with all its ups and downs, joys and temptations. The devilish Anasthesia communicates with tempter-in-training, Termite, via e-mail. We meet their "victim" as a young woman and witness her struggles with faith throughout the stages of her life.

Just before C.S. Lewis died he selected essays from his previously published works to form a new volume. The first of these sees the return of the notorious Screwtape, addressing a dinner at the Tempters' Training College for young devils.

The Screwtape Letters has long been one of C.S. Lewis's most popular works. Its delightfully devious demon, Screwtape, advises his nephew on how best to corrupt a brand new Christian, illuminating the strategies that tempters use to bring down humans. Compiling excerpts of the most humorous and insightful of this advice, this fun, give volume presents these strategies as success tips for life.

The Screwtape Letters is a novel by C. S. Lewis. It is written in a satirical style. First published in February 1942, the story takes the form of a series of letters from a senior Demon Screwtype to his nephew Wormwood, a Junior Tempter. The uncle's mentorship pertains to the nephew's responsibility in securing the damnation of a British man known only as "the Patient".

Four kids--Max, Allie, Grady, and Toby--accidentally take a journey back in time in a beat-up Volkswagen beetle, where they encounter dinosaurs, discover star-faring angelic beings, and confront the tempter of Eden at the dawn of the world. Unexpected plot twists and ingenious escapes keep the pages turning to a satisfying ending-and leave the reader clamoring for a sequel.

Slubgrip Instructs is the sequel to Fr Longenecker’s successful book The Gargoyle Code. In The Gargoyle Code master tempter Slubgrip writes daily to trainee devil Dogwart–advising him on the temptation of a confused young Catholic, while he struggles to control his own ‘patient’–an older man who is facing a serious illness. Having been betrayed and sent down, Slubgrip now finds himself sentenced to teach Popular Culture 101 at Bowelbages University. His lectures and meetings, and those of his collection of fiendish guest lecturers are recorded by the security division at Bowelbages and the transcripts comprise the manuscript of Slubgrip Instructs. Slubgrip’s lectures take the reader through the whole range of the temptations in popular culture that undermine the Catholic faith. While busy teaching and bullying his students, Slubgrip has his eye on toppling President Thornblade and his old enemies–Commissioner Crasston and head of Detention, the tempter Snozzle. Will Slubgrip’s coup succeed or will he receive yet another “invitation to dinner down below”?

In this novel of obsessive passion the author tells stories of Old Goriot and the ungrateful daughters he adores; young Rastignac, a country lad determined to make his way in Paris; and Vautrin, his satanic tempter. Their lives all cross in the Maison Vauquer, a boarding house in Paris.

When first published, The Picture of Dorian Gray was regarded as dangerously modern in its portrayal of fashionable fin de siecle decadence. In Wilde's updated version of the Faust story, the tempter is Lord Henry Wotton, who lives selfishly for amoral pleasure; Dorian's good angel or conscience is the portrait painter Basil Hallward. The book highlights the tension between the polished surface of high society and secret life of vice led by many of its members.
