Harry Angel
Created by William Hjortsberg
 A weird, uh, cross between The Exorcist and The Maltese Falcon. You've probably seen the movie Angel Heart by now, starring Mickey Rourke's stubble, Robert DeNiro's fingernails, Lisa Bonet's nipples and lots of chickens. Now read the book.
It's just one hell of a read.
Down-on-his-luck New York City gumshoe HARRY ANGEL has had better days. The long-lost 1940s singing idol/war hero he's looking for, Johnny Favorite, seems to have died several years ago. And it looks like his client, a rather bizarre character named Louis Cyphre, just may be Satan out to collect an overdue debt from Favorite; namely his soul. Happens all the time, right?
A good read, especially for Hallowe'en.
