"Wonderfully dark horror comedy!" - Sharron Joy Reads

"Clever, Entertaining and Thought-Provoking." - Jai Hui

"So entertaining, I could not put it down!" - Holly Schultz

"Finally! A twist I didn’t expect." - Aaron


The Devil is ready to retire from ruling Hell.

Before settling down with his girlfriend, he must first seek a worthy replacement.

Through a series of gripping and connected short horror stories, we meet a variety of candidates potentially ready to take the reins.

From the twisted ringmaster of a circus that contains a dark secret, to an unstable superhuman saviour who begins to question whether society deserves to be punished rather than protected, each individual has their own unique, thrilling, twisted and often hilarious story to tell.

Only one of them will ultimately get the job. Place your bets.

The Devil's Replacement is a real treat for any horror fan.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael D. A. Clarke believes that by adding in his initials and speaking in the third-person, he may come across as a real writer. In reality, he's not quite sure if he is a real writer as he has only written a couple of books. I mean, he did write them - so, by definition he's definitely a real writer, right? The question should be, "Is he a good writer?" That's for you to decide. But take comfort in knowing that Michael D. A. Clarke has been writing words since he was just 5 years old and has written many words since then.

    Satan is looking to retire so he can spend time with his sex-crazed girlfriend. We follow a few potential candidates through short stories that connect (it’s an anthology, it’s also a novel!) and their ultimate interview with the Devil.

    There are lots of pop culture references in this book and highly relatable to our current society, but there is also hitler growing out new moustache styles. Going through the pages, you’ll chuckle, you’ll feel a sense of injustice for the characters and empathise with them, and you’ll also reflect on the toxic cultures that happen both in this book and in real life.

    The Devil’s Replacement gets all my 5 stars. If you want to give horror a try or want something light to cleanse your palette this is just the book for you!

    The author really knew what he was doing when he tied the individual short stories together to the main storyline. They all flow very nicely. This book was a page turner for me and I read it on my down time at work and it definitely was a good distraction from work. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out and read other books from this author :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book is hilariously intriguing
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2023
    When I read that this was a book of short stories, I assumed it would be just that. Various stories with each one being different, but that wasn't the case. I have never read a book where each short stories seemed more like chapters of an overall regular length book but each story carried on to the next one. It was done so well. Also the comedic bits throughout each story were amazing. This made the reading flow easier and kept me wanting to read more. Also, who doesn't want to read a story about Satan retiring and the first line was Hitler introducing himself to a group of people? Be-Be has to be my favorite character in this story. Her power powers of illusion was definitely the best one (especially when she was using it on Toby and Dan.) She also just seemed to be the least crazy out of the interviewees which is also not saying much haha. Overall an amazing easy to read book with hilarious parts that kept you engaged. Definitely a book you can read in one sitting, which is what I did.

    I absolutely loved this book! The author has written it in such a creative and tactical way. Every bit of it all gels together really well and it has the perfect balance of horror and dark humour. I was gripped from the start and by the end of each chapter, I wanted to know more!

    There is a huge variety of different characters in this book but each and every one of them is so easy to envision. Some you will loathe, others you will empathise with and a few may just surprise you! It touches on some modern society issues and also has the perfect amount of description in it, really helping the reader to imagine the scene.

    I have only recently started to make the time to read again and i am so glad that I started with this Author's books as they have awoke my passion and love for reading again!

    I can't wait to start reading Part two of this sequel!

    I'm not a fan of horror stories, but since I really liked Michael's first book, I gave this a try as well.

    Short stories, yes, but linked together by characters appearing in different stories. Horror stories, yes, but they also have their funny moments.

    Omg this was an absolute bloody riot!!

    It has some dark themes, but it’s more like a dark witty comedy. Some of the imagery in this is absolutely hilarious, but there’s also times of sorrow and has a lot of gore, if that’s not your thing.

    A very unique book, I’m so glad I read this one lol!

    I've done some writing myself but I will say that Michael D. A. Clarke is a much better writer than me. I noticed his talent right away. The book comprises short stories that are all connected in one way or another. They come together at the end.
    This book is an entertaining and excellent read! Highly recommend!.
