One devil on the list:Muriel Spark's Douglas DougalRead about all ten devils on the list.
It is not surprising that the devilish (and devoutly Roman Catholic) Spark should spring a Satanic manipulator on the modern world in The Ballad of Peckham Rye. The company of Meadows, Meade & Grindley hires the charming and resourceful Dougal to do "human research" on its employees. His diabolical ability is bringing out the worst in people. As the narrator keeps saying: "It wouldn't have happened if Dougal Douglas hadn't come."
--Marshal Zeringue
