Representaion During Books The Devil's Day (After Such Knowledge #2-3)

6.0 stars. On my list of "All Time Favorite" novels. This omnibus is made up of Black Easter and The Day After Judgement (both of which earned 6.0 stars from me on there own). Together they make an incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking story of angels vs demons, God vs Satan vs Man and the true nature of good and evil. I absolutely loved this book. James Blish is highly under-rated. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!

Nominee: Nebula Award for Best Science Fiction Novel (1969) (Black Easter)

First combined edition. Frontispiece photo of author by Jay Kay Klein. New introduction by David G. Hartwell.

4-4.5.In this compilation of two novellas by sci-fi giant James Blish, the ramifications of black magic are explored with an intriguing mix of mysticism and scientific study. At first what would seem to be an uneasy mix turns out to be a refreshing and interesting interpretation of the various rituals and spells discussed in the grimoires and religious texts scattered throughout history. Blish clearly did a ton of research, and ably guides the book from scientific realism to phantasmagoric

This book is actually two books. Neither is for the squeamish or the easily offended. "The Day After Judgement" contains some mild racial slurs toward Asians. And the underlying story is both blasphemous and sacrilegious. However, It's a well-written story, with a clear plot and well-developed characters. Expect to be alternately intrigued, amused (in a misanthropic way,) and finally left in an existential haze--wondering what happened and left to figure out the meaning for yourself.

This is actually my favorite depiction of how magic might work in the real world.
