I don't know if the idea of making the Devil the good guy and God the bad guy has ever dared been attempted before, but I sense that Malkuthe is going to be successful with what looks to be a great challenge within the literary world by the way he presents the concept within the first chapters. If that alone doesn't win you over, then the use of Angel mythology and characters contained within the story might do the trick.

What I find exciting about these prose is Malkuthe's ability to make an ages-old tale feel fresh and immediate. Right from the opening sentence, where I see the guardian's sword swinging like a clock pendulum, I can visualize what's happening and I'm compelled to read on. This is an exciting new project and I look forward to seeing more and seeing this come together. The book is not funding yet, but I think nonetheless more Inkshares folks should follow this author because I sense from what I read his work has much to promise.
