Items related to TO THE DEVIL - A DIVA!
Karla Sorensen used to be big in horror films. In the 60s and 70s no self-respecting low-budget bloodily schlocky shocker was complete without the Queen of the Vampires presiding over it. She was well qualified for it, after all...at the age of ten she sold her soul to the devil. Now, although spookily ageless, Karla is knocking on in years. Her residuals are drying up and she needs some cash, so she decides to return to the north of England, to Manchester, to appear in Menswear, Britain's riskiest television soap opera. Not everyone's happy about her return to the fame game, however. The current star of the late-night show is Lance Randall, the famously bisexual actor, and he is furious to hear that Karla is about to become his co-star. He hates her, he fears her, and he's convinced that she's coming to steal his very soul. Dark clouds are massing around Manchester; deep, dark, devilish secrets are about to be unleashed that will wreak havoc on all around.

Review:
"Menswear, the prime-time soap opera that has taken Britain by storm, is about to get a new cast member: Karla Sorenson, the once-great star of low-budget horror films (Carnival of Flesh, among others). Lance Randall, the show's leading male star, is seriously concerned about Karla's arrival. He's not just worried that Karla might steal the show; he's also afraid that . . . well, she might steal his soul, too. A comedy about television, satanism, and lesbian vampires, the novel is a superbly written mix of crime fiction and campy horror (imagine Tim Dorsey or Bill Fitzhugh, only substantially more perverse). Fans of the author's previous novels (including Mad Dogs and Englishmen, 2002) will be pleased to note that Magrs is once again pushing the envelope, combining an outrageously over-the-top premise with a side dish of graphic sexuality. That combo will doubtless offend some, but it's all in good fun, and good fun it is. Magrs is a true original, and this one can only bolster his reputation as a cult favorite."--Booklist
