The Luck Of The Devil (novel)
Stephanie M. Bennion
![]() |
COMING
SOON...! Susan Jones, a transgender woman struggling to get by in the economic woes of 1990s Britain, is under the care of psychiatrist Doctor Mordussen. He in turn is obsessed by her disturbing nightmares. But are her demons real? An unexpected road trip to Ireland awakens traumas of the past. A seventeenth-century sorceror, evil nurses, a castle reborn from the ashes and a bloodthirsty sheep do not making getting to the bottom of the mystery any easier. The old wise woman of the village knows more than she's telling. Susan must confront her demons in more ways than one. Can her love of heavy metal, her battered Volkswagen camper van and two best friends save the day? The Luck Of The Devil is a thriller of both comedy and tragedy, set in a contemporary world of superstition, psychiatry and the metaphysical. AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm quietly optimistic that this much-delayed novel will finally see the light of day in the first half of 2018... (To be published in 2018; approx 99,000 words. [details])

![]() THE LUCK OF THE DEVIL. Hell is other people... -->"Doctor Mordussen, I came to you for help," she said. "You told me my nightmares and my gender-identity issues were one and the same. You spun me a story of mental health problems, that my life could be fixed by lying on your couch. You knew that wasn't true." -->"Are
you still having nightmares?" On a camper van trail of discovery, can Susan's friend Marie cut through to the truth? -->"Don't you start!" Marie retorted, with a grimace worthy of Nurse Doherty. "Doctor Mordussen is up to something. If I ever get my hands on him, I'll take a scalpel to his groin and show him the true meaning of 'struck off'!" Though there are some creatures she would rather have stayed in her head! -->"Like
a bat out of hell," she muttered, staring at the
fiend from her nightmares. But is there rock 'n' roll salvation at the end of a gateway to hell? -->"A
game show?!" interrupted Mordis, his arms full of
bits of paper. "Judgment Day for me was being thrown
in a lake with lead weights around my ankles." And much, much more! CHAPTER TITLES:
