Synopsis
When professional poker player Dave makes a desperate bet with the Devil, he doesn't expect to end up dead on his couch. But that's exactly where he finds himself - watching his own murder investigation unfold. The bet? That Lucifer can't kill him at 7 PM. Through clever manipulation, Dave buys himself 24 hours of genuine immortality, but he gets far more than he bargained for.
What starts as a day of consequence-free adventures transforms into an unlikely partnership when Dave and Lucifer discover a conspiracy within Hell itself. A group of demons is secretly orchestrating an early apocalypse, hoping to cash in on supernatural retirement benefits. Through a series of increasingly bizarre events, Dave finds himself promoted from dead man to Hell's new administrator, inheriting both tremendous power and endless paperwork.
But running Hell isn't all fun and demonic games. When an ancient evil starts systematically destroying demon contracts and unleashing dangerous souls from Hell's depths, Dave must juggle his new responsibilities with an unexpected personal life - including a relationship with a demon bureaucrat and the challenges of supernatural parenthood. As he races to prevent both Heaven and Hell from falling into chaos, Dave discovers that his promotion might not have been as accidental as it seemed.
With help from a reformed Lucifer, a dire unicorn that runs on gray-scale rainbows, and a surprisingly competent Antichrist named Steve, Dave must prevent the apocalypse while learning to navigate Hell's labyrinthine bureaucracy and trying not to miss any important meetings.
An Urban Fantasy/Dramedy/Progression story full of twists and turns.
I would call Dave vs the Devil, a heavy dose of Kurt Vonnegut's surrealism, absurdity, and desperate need to always be telling a joke, mixed with Douglas Adam's humorous mythology of the world that he is writing, with a dash of mystery and thriller aspects of The Dresden Files.
