While trick-or-treating a few days before Halloween, Samuel Johnson happens upon a few of his neighbors enacting a strange ceremony in their basement, culminating in a portal opening and Samuel being pursued by the former Mrs. Abernathy. As it turns out, the Great Malevolence (i.e., the Devil) is harnessing the power of a particle collider to open a doorway and take over the Earth. His only challengers are Samuel, a couple of his friends, and an exiled demon with a love for jellybeans. The story is similar something that Christopher Moore or A. Lee Martinez might write, and a fun, albeit brief, read. Great for the Halloween season!
