To the Devil — a Diva! is a 2004 horror novel by English author, Paul Magrs. It is an homage to classic British horror, such as the films of Hammer Film Productions.
Synopsis
[edit]The actress Karla Sorensen is the fading one-time star of a glut of low-budget Hammer-style horror movies from the 1960s and 1970s, who finds herself in the new millennium short on cash and willing to work anywhere - even on Menswear, the most cutting-edge soap opera on television.
Fortunately, as she sold her soul to the Devil during the World War II, Karla has hidden reserves to fall back on...
Trivia
[edit]Professor John Cleavis is based on author C. S. Lewis, and first appeared in Magrs' Doctor Who novel Mad Dogs and Englishmen (2002) and then in Philip Purser-Hallard's Time Hunter novella, Peculiar Lives.
The title is a play on the title of the 1953 Dennis Wheatley novel, To the Devil - a Daughter!, which was made into a movie by Hammer in 1976.
