War in Heaven by Charles Williams

3.0

This was what Dennis Wheatley was always *trying* to write: prim ‘n’ proper diabolism amongst the English gentry with morbidly supernatural stakes and absurd levels of toodle-pip-old-chap Britishness. It’s been said that for Wheatley, satanism was just whoever he didn’t like, which was pretty much everyone; whereas Williams, who seems to have been a pretty major holy-roller even by the standards of his compatriots the Inklings, has a surer spiritual footing and manages to imbue the conflict with a good deal more passion than Wheatley tended to.
