Michael Chabon, "Sympathy for the Devil"

The devil appears in many guises in these stories and fables collected by science fiction and fantasy writer Tim Pratt. He's often nattily dressed in sharkskin or a pinstriped double-breasted suit with fedora, or, as in Stephen King's story, a simple black suit with gold watch chain. Whatever his appetites, for tasty little boys, nuclear destruction, or a little fun with a bored teenager on a summer afternoon, with his knacks for shape-changing and time/space travel, the devil doesn't play fair.
