Devils: Do we choose our own Destiny or does Destiny choose us?
A philosophical exploration of devils as living beings seeking redemption and vengeance.
The narrative redefines the devil by suggesting that the most dangerous entities are humans themselves. Bhadra uses quotes from Aeon, Yanat, and VEH 8462 to build a framework where destiny is an active force rather than a passive outcome. The text suggests that for every end, there is a new beginning, driven by those who fall or rise. This approach moves away from external threats and focuses on internal moral decay. The book does not offer easy answers about good versus evil but instead presents a complex view where the living are the primary agents of chaos and order alike.
Published by Notion Press in 2020, this work sits within contemporary speculative fiction. It engages with gothic traditions by invoking wolves, moons, and midnight imagery. The text blends supernatural elements with existential questioning, reflecting a modern interest in the psychological origins of evil rather than purely religious interpretations.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Devils offers a refreshing departure from standard horror conventions by shifting the blame for evil onto humanity itself. Bhadra’s use of specific character voices creates a framework where destiny is an active, rather than passive, force. The text excels in its metaphysical questioning, exploring whether mortals choose their fate or if it dictates their path. It avoids linear plotting in favor of thematic depth, which may alienate readers seeking traditional narratives. However, for those who appreciate the psychological and cosmic horror subgenres, this book provides a rich, complex exploration of moral agency. The tone is serious and introspective, rewarding readers willing to engage with its dense philosophical core without expecting simple resolutions or clear distinctions between divine and demonic forces.
