One day, cutting through the swamp, David comes across the remains of old Indian souls and discovers a skull with jewelry still buried on the bodies. As David kicks at the skull, he hears a voice and looks up to see a black man seated on a stump just looking. The man, wearing a black sash around his body, has a soot-stained face, which makes it appear as if he works in some fiery place. David soon recognizes the stranger as the devil, the black man. Twenty years later we had a family reunion with all my relatives and they started talking about the fire.

“Even before he reached me, I recognized the aroma baking up from the skin under the suit--the smell of burned matches. The smell of sulfur. The man in the black suit was the Devil.” (King) A common theme among depictions of The Devil is that of unusual physical attributes. The Devil is depicted in three different stories (Joyce Carol Oates’ ‘Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?’, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s ‘Young Goodman Brown’, and Steven King’s ‘The Man In The Black Suit’) in three different ways, yet each description bares remarkable similarities in some aspects to the next. Themes common to the devil are that of his physical appearance or how he presents himself, his apparent supernatural

The two different incarnations of the devil in both Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown, and Stephen King’s The Man in The Black Suit both interact a lot with the main characters in both stories.

Although not commonly associated with Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the devil is mentioned the classic American novel. Hawthorne describes Satan as a tall, black man who lives in the woods, interacting with humans and witches to corrupt their souls. Portrayals of Satan throughout history have given him many different associations, one of the most well-known displays of him being in Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, Inferno and Peter Cook’s comedic film, Bedazzled. In these two depictions, the devil is shown malicious yet tragic figure, although his reaction his punishments vary.

In the novel An Ungodly child by Rachel green, the Devil’s personality and appearance is seen to be different as Green imbibes satire into biblical stories. The word Satan has been used more as an identifying noun than a title in recent times. Christians generally recognize Satan as an adversary, an opponent, or an accuser. However, many of the norms surrounding the description of his character are not present in this novel. The story of the red ugly guy with horns, a tail, red fiery eyes and a trident becomes a handsome ebony black man dressed in a “conservative business suit and…Cuban-heeled boots” (Green 285). This novel does not completely support the traditional beliefs of the Devil which is that he kills, steals and destroys. Historical conceptions of Satan are different from the novel because the novel implies that all supernatural creatures are not completely holy or completely evil but are subject to free will and the ability to choose between good and evil.

Behind her in the living room, someone cleared his throat. She panicked, she didn’t know is she should turn around or not. She didn’t know if she wanted to see what frightful thing would be standing in her living room. Behind her, she could hear someone walking closer and closer to her very slowly.

John walks through the stale leaves of the jungle. CRUNCH! CRUNCH! “Shhhhhh, you’re too loud,” whispered Kate with her teeth together. “This is our first mission, I don’t want you messing my dreams up.”

Tic tic tic. Ding dong. The bell rang Bob ran down stairs and opened the door. When he opened up the door it was his best friend Billy. "Hey what's up bro." Said Bob. "Nothing much, you ready for the game?" Yelled Billy. Bob replied,"yea man, I just need to do something real quick."

I shot awake to the noise of an eerie howl that sounded like no animal I have ever heard. The sound echoed throughout the night sky; the sound was more human than animal. It sounded exactly like the Devil himself gave me a warning signal that he was coming for me, and that was exactly what happened: the Devil had come after me.
