Son of Devil by Steve Rascon
What’s It About?
Devil, Demons, God, Angels, Witches, and a Warrior all get collectively on this compelling memoir infused with erotica.
Steve is one fortunate sonofabitch. Regardless of working a string of low-paying, low-man-on-the-totem-pole temp and retail jobs, his attraction and pure beauty are a magnet for high-quality ladies. Jet-setting execs; bored, attractive trophy wives; cute, perky faculty women; unique overseas nationals — it’s a endless “all you may eat” buffet of blondes, brunettes and redheads with each ethnicity thrown in for good measure. There’s just one drawback: Steve is on the lookout for his excellent lady; he needs to marry and have a household, the larger the higher. And none of those ladies, regardless of how excellent, pan out ultimately.
A Deal With the Satan
Son of Devil by Steve Rascon is a genre-bending mix of erotica and divine (and not-so-divine) intervention in an autobiographical format. Steve marks the passage of time by his life within the ’90s by way of a catalog of girlfriends, lovers and one-night stands, full with when and the way he met them, what they wore, the place they went and what they did on their dates and, most particularly, their lovemaking, a lot of which ends up in progeny. At first, that’s all this story appears to be about. However by web page 89, we be taught it’s not.
You see, there’s a purpose Steve is so profitable with ladies. There’s a purpose why he’s so virile as to father a small military of kids, none of whom he’s required to help, miraculously. It has to do with a bit deal he made with Devil at age 14. Steve would change into Devil’s apprentice and soldier towards God and His brokers, angelic and in any other case. In return, Devil would take Steve beneath his safety and provides him all the ladies he wishes and progeny aplenty. He guarantees Steve standing, wealth, a spouse and household, a happily-ever-after.
However as with many offers with the Satan, there’s all the time a catch, and on this case, a bait and change. Steve’s unimaginable success is about to expire.
Memoir, or One thing Extra?
All through the e book, the reader should battle with the e book’s subtitle: A Memoir. A lot of what occurs beggars perception. Practically each lovemaking episode goes for further innings far into the wee hours, and practically each lover is a flawless Alpha lady. There’s a sample in Steve’s lovemaking involving stilettos, mirrors, copious oral intercourse, a number of and simultaneous orgasms, superhuman stamina and inexhaustible libido. Steve fathers so many youngsters with out repercussions or accountability that we start to query what’s actually occurring. And that’s earlier than we get to the telepathic connection together with his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer. Or the weird torture and killing of angels inside a “labyrinth” of Steve’s thoughts, seemingly out of character together with his loving and beneficiant nature. Or the horrific retribution to return.
So what’s Son of Devil? A real story, as unlikely because it appears? A novelized autobiography whose hero is an idealized alter-ego? Or, it could be argued, a piece of fiction with an unreliable narrator within the vein of Patrick Bateman, Bret Easton Ellis’s protagonist in American Psycho?
A Story Uniquely Its Personal
Whether or not it’s fiction, memoir, or one thing in between, Son of Devil grapples with the query of learn how to flip a super mate right into a dedicated accomplice. Our protagonist very a lot enjoys courting his numerous “candidates,” fantasizing about what married life could be like with them, and even falls in love just a few instances, solely to get his coronary heart damaged and ego bruised time and again. And but Steve maintains a form of optimism, resilience and naivete that belies his expertise with life, by no means thoughts ladies.
However his habits places him ready to in the end fail at his objectives. The ladies he chooses are excellent in bodily look and chemistry, but their intentions are lower than excellent. Some desire a little bit of enjoyable; others desire a child. Some are married; others aren’t prepared for dedication. And on and on. He’s a pawn — not solely of those ladies’s wishes however of Devil himself. It’s a titillating and typically unusual story but in addition a cautionary one. Son of Devil isn’t for prudish, literal-minded readers however for these refined sufficient to acknowledge and recognize the story behind the story — one which lifts it out of simple erotica into one thing uniquely its personal.
