The Fantastical Historie of Milos Stephanos

The Fantastical Historie of Milos Stephanos is a bold re-telling of Faust, in which a devil’s advocate recruits a suitable ingenue for “The Great Purpose”. Unfortunately, Mr Stephanos’ amoral protégé slips the leash and conjures hellish plans of his own. The Faustian character is Krystian Krystenssen, a mercenary youth with a blank slate where his soul should be. The role of Mephistopheles is taken by Mr Milos Stephanos, a reluctant protagonist, a witty narrator, and a put-upon hostage to fortune. Faust is sometimes considered to be a satanic horror archetype, but the satirical flavour of the original folktales is often lost in a myriad versions of the legend.
