Lost potential

What a great premise for a short-story anthology: stories by various authors that lean towards defending or eroticizing Satan, in all his forms. Unfortunately, what we got was warmed-over "erotic" stories where all that happened was the person on top was the devil. The devil is alleged to take unlimited forms in a quest to steal our souls, but this is not found here in this book. Alas, it could have been so much better. It qualifies as a "beach" book, which means you can take it somewhere where constant interruptions will not be detrimental to the value of the writing.
