Mephestopheles is a tale that spans the fourteenth to twenty-first centuries. Robert, a young college student and the epitome of a procrastinator, discovers a book that will send him on the ride of his life and have him come out screaming. How was he to have known about the malicious Crisada Bushes, Mena Flowers, and Bane Trees? Let alone about the Rotting Death Man? He would soon learn about the world of Asilem and how a misinterpretation of demonic prose led to the writing of religious scriptures.

May 16, 2009: Mephestopheles wasn't a really bad book. It was just bad in a plain sort of way; it started out okay, but didn't have the gas to bring it home. Midway through the book, I found myself alternately bored, tired and disinterested. I sighed a lot. It was hard to finish.
I might have given it 2 stars, but I'm mad because of the time wasted.Reader Rating:

April 15, 2008: What imagery! I love any story about the Middle Ages, and this sure caught my attention. I felt like I was in London's open-air market circa 14th century. But this is not to be confused with a tale of knights and kings. This is a hardcore look into Medieval life with a twist of horror. Gory at times, but represented in poetic form as when Mephestopheles pays a visit to the Medieval tavern. A tale of a girl caught between two evils, none which is the lesser and a decision she has to make.
