YMMV / Between Two Fires

• Complete Monster:
  • Lucifer himself schemes to test God's care for humanity before taking over all of creation for his own. Unleashing The Black Death and various monstrosities upon Earth to kill millions and sending three of his top devils to sow chaos throughout humankind, Lucifer takes advantage of God's lack of reaction to these atrocities by declaring war on Heaven. Lucifer hopes to destroy all of humanity, then subject every single angel not under his banner to the torment of Hell for eternity while he personally dethrones God and reigns supreme for all time.
  • Baal'Zebuth, Ra'um, and Bel-phegor are three devils dispatched by Lucifer to Earth to take advantage of the Black Death and bring forth the destruction of humanity. Bel-phegor traps souls in a "court of the damned" where he abuses them to his heart's content; Ra'um uses an avatar to trick dozens of people into torturing themselves and crucifying their neighbors under the illusion it will protect them from plague; Baal'Zebuth kills hundreds of people and revives them as tormented, zombified slaves he uses as labor and to seduce unsuspecting targets to perform necrophilia. Together, the trio encourage torture, rape, and murder across Europe, and tear apart entire villages to find potential foes. The triumvirate intends to stir up bigotry against Jews until they are all oppressed and wiped out, then pave the way for Lucifer's armies to ravage the whole Earth, and when their victory appears at hand, the three devils begin slaughtering all of Avignon to bring in their bloody success.
• Friendly Fandoms: Berserk fans are quite fond of the book, with the latter often being said to having the same sort of appeal, what with its cynical, brooding protagonist fighting several demonic beasts while re-learning how to open up to people once again.
