The Devil is a DJ

Published in Monsters

Monsters contains the short story series Demons, Harlots and Crones, which follows two generations of the Demeere family and its legacy of spite and envy. Included in the series is Demon in High Socks; Holler it out with Lemonade; the Old Lady, Her Plymouth, and Cockroaches; Sex in a Pan; and the Fire Crone and Stone Harlot. Also within Monster’s pages are fifty-odd poems exploring the darker side of human nature and its undeniable conclusion. Two Orphan Sparrows, the Devil is a DJ, the Last Striptease, Beware of Librarians Promising Freedom and many more titles are found within. Ultimately monster asks the reader to look at the darkness found within herself and by facing it, perchance move beyond.

This one gave me goosebumps all the way. Probably one of my favourites I have ever read of yours. I like the angle, making war and the death of soldiers of the devil's making, and humanity complicit. An indictment of the act and not the players. Very wonderful imagery.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, KL. You rounded out the images and meaning perfectly with this review:)

The Devil can play us like a string on a instrument and many
the strings of a puppet as they have not a care for their life
and allowing addictions control them he is the Arguments we
have Just in the pews of the Audience Aging us on trying to get us to
get upset and offended all the time he loves Hate and fighting and war that kills
he is the opposite of life even though God made him.



This was quite interesting and amusing I see him all red
wearing Headphones one on one ear and one off the other ear
and him rapping on the records but it is true how
he plays many in this world.


Thank you for sharing. take care Benita

[Pryde Foltz]

Thanks, Ron:)

Lucifer plays the piano. Humanity becomes the keys. No problem being a DJ. Nice write.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Jon.

The imagery gave my goosebumps shivers, lots to think about here, another exalted rendition from your poignant pen Pryde Peacock.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thanks Frieda:)

You've got me at the title, aren't I glad to have found this writing it has made my day! Even brightening. Not only is the format clever and the "chorus lines" full of satire I find the concept enticing and so it should be. Just the other day I read about a Mom that left family and kids to go and fight for Isis and it took me by suprise. I also really appreciate the either or tone of th writing. None of that yellow undicided terms of well as long as I am Ok here I am not hurting anyone sort of thing. We are responsible for the unfoldings if we are not actively against it.

So intense but highly enjoyable.

Thankyou so much.

Thank you, Rene:)

Dark and twisted and thought provoking

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Mama Di … zilla … dinosaur … get it:)

[MomzillaNC]

:D

The name came about one day when my son was annoyed that he and his friends can't get away with anything around me. He told me I'm a "total momzilla!" I replied, "You betcha! I AM Momzilla, and PROUD to be!"

[Pryde Foltz]

LOL … I think I may be one as well:)

[MomzillaNC]

Keep 'em busy, stay in their business!

[MomzillaNC]

That's the Momzilla creed.

the imagery and flow of ideas in this one is magical... it is dark, twisted and wickedly delightful.. I really enjoyed this piece:)

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, April:)

[Sami Khalil]

Very entertaining and amusing. I like the concept and analogy. The devil is a master deceiver and mixer of things concerning truth and we are swayed by him and other factors...Excellent...:)....

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Sami:)

You are welcome...:)........

Wow, I used to work in a small little alternative club. My friend was the DJ. I did the lighting.
The music was, let's just say much darker than what I listen to now. I still remember watching the crowd, like they were under some spell. This reminds me of those days a bit. Love it Pryde. Nice job.

[Pryde Foltz]

I remember those days. Thank you, Ana Sophia:)
