Book excerpt: Good help is hard to find these days, even for someone as powerful as the horned and hooved, gloriously evil, master of the universe Mephistopheles. Having gone to the trouble of writing a manual on how to serve the Dark Lord in everyday life, one would assume the business of lost souls would be booming.

The Devil is always in the details," the guide should ensure no souls slip through the cracks. So what happened to that damned attorney Clyde after he died? There may be traitors among his minor devils, or perhaps the fiery Meph has met his match when his evil forces attempt to overtake a small Wisconsin town where a quirky cast of cursed characters try to solve the mystery of Clyde's lost soul in the hope of saving their own. A must-read for fans of Douglas Adams's satire, "Hell Made Easy" is the fantastically funny first novel in Lisa Boero's Trilogy from Hell.
