	Devil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Devil was expelled from the order of high-ranking Malakhs (archangels) when he failed to pay homage to Adam, the father of all mankind.
		Initially, the Devil was successful in deceiving Adam, but once his intentions became clear, Adam and Eve repented to Allah and were freed from their misdeeds and forgiven.
		The medieval Cathars believed that the Old Testament Yahweh was, in fact, the devil, based partially on ethical interpretations of the Bible and partially on the beliefs of earlier gnostic sects (such as the Marcionists) who regarded the god of the Old Testament as evil or as an imperfect demiurge.

	The Pacer - Memnoch The Devil: The best in the series
		Memnoch is, in fact, the Devil and has come to earth to ask Lestat to become his lieutenant in Hell.
		Memnoch says that he will explain everything there is to know about Heaven and Hell and encourages Lestat to visit Heaven and Hell in an effort to persuade him to join forces with the Devil.
		Memnoch also says that if Lestat is not moved and inspired to go with him, Lestat has the right to refuse his offer and Memnoch will never bother Lestat again.

	Memnoch the Devil: Anne Rice [Review © T. Brown, 1995]
		Memnoch the Devil is written in the same expansive style as the previous three books (the first, Interview with the Vampire, which was narrated by the pleasantly-reserved Louis, has a more formal manner), and occasionally this begins to grate.
		Memnoch’s story, and the theological arguments proceeding from it, constitute well over a third of the book, and Lestat’s present-day secular adventures sometime seem no more than a framing device for what is, in effect, a massive and melodramatic info-dump.
		Memnoch is perhaps the hero of this part of the novel, and he bears more than a passing resemblance to the self-assured Lestat of previous Chronicles.

	Amazon.ca: Memnoch the Devil: Books: Anne Rice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The whole idea behind the story is Lestat meets the devil (of course, right?) and the devil gives him the choice of working with him or with God to end the religious battle that has been going on for centuries.
		While Memnoch is telling Lestat the tale he pulls both Lestat and the reader into the story.
		Memnoch was the first warning years before that we Chronicle followers didn't heed out of hope that more books would come after that matched the loveliness of her first four novels.

	Vampire library of Darkness : Memnoch the Devil, Anne Rice
		Memnoch isn't the devil as ordinarily conceived: he got the boot from God because he objected to God's heartless indifference to human misery.
		The bulk of the novel is a retelling of the Creation story from the point of view of the fallen angel, who blames his damnation on his refusal to accept human suffering as part of God's divine plan.
		Memnoch claims that God is merciless and he is compassionate, and he needs Lestat to help him rescue humanity from this vale of tears.

	Devil
		In Islam the Devil is referred to as Iblis, also called the Shaitan (a word referring to the evil devil-like beings).
		There are some who erroneously claim that the word 'devil' is from 'd'evil' -'of evil.' Some also believe that because the word 'evil' itself is 'live' spelt backward, the word originated through the nature of evil being "against living things," or the antithesis of life itself.
		The Devil is a common theme in an extreme form of underground music known as Black Metal.

	The Vampire Chronicles
		Memnoch the Devil is very different stylistically than Rice's other novels in the vampire chronicles.
		Memnoch tells Lestat that he wants to end evil and the world and he would like Lestat to go to Heaven and talk to God, and to Hell to find a way to better serve the truth.
		Memnoch challenges God to become a man, and God tells Memnoch that he has been a man when he was Christ.

	Anne Rice - The Vampire Chronicles - Fan ChitChat Message Boards
		Memnoch the Devil pleads the case of humans with God and wins a chance for them to be admitted into Heaven.
		Besides, according to Memnoch, God incarnated without removing entirely his consciousness of being God, with the result that his experience of suffering is not complete.
		Memnoch?s Hell resembles more an unorthodox Catholic purgatory: it is not eternal and is a place where, tutored by the Devil, lost souls learn how they could eventually ascend to Heaven.

		He was after all, no stranger to me. Yet for the very first time I actually felt a "connection", he was for the night my devil's advocate---Memnoch, in the flesh, grinning from ear to ear and blowing smoke rings.
		Memnoch the Devil is one of Anne Rice's thought provoking books.
		Memnoch to me is the voice in our heads which sometimes questions the existence of God or challenges certain gospel truths about religion and Chirtianity which we were force fed with as children.

		Though the fourth and final book of the illustrious Vampire Chronicles, MEMNOCH THE DEVIL is unlike the others in that Lestat and the other vampires are not the central focus of the story.
		Though frightened of what Memnoch asks, Lestat follows him and learns of Memnoch's life and his fall from Heaven to Earth and to the Shoel (gloom).
		Memnoch refuses to be called Satan or any of his other names, explaining how he, among all angels, Seraphim and cherubs, loved humankind so much he continually petitioned his Lord to free humankind from suffering in life and death.

		Thsi is when Memnoch, who is the devil and keeper of Hell, approaches Lestat and offers him the role of being his Lieutenant, 2nd in Command.
		Lestat does not really want to be the guardian of evil and refuses at first, although Memnoch said he will need to show him the history of time as well as Heaven and Hell before Lestat would be ready to decide.
		The book portrays the stories from the bible in a new light and makes you question the accuracy of the bible and that the stories within the bible are, ultimately, written with one persons viewpoint and, in typical fasion for the questioning arch-angel, these views are challenged.

	CESNUR - Esoteric and Theosophical Themes in Anne Rice’s New Orleans Fiction
		In the great 18th century European discussion about vampires those who were not skeptical about their existence followed, according to Antoine Faivre’s distinction, two different schools of thought: theological (the vampire are corpses animated by the Devil), and esoteric (the vampire phenomena arise from the astral body or one of the lesser souls) (18).
		And gnostic her cosmology is, involving a God who, as Memnoch suggests, perhaps created the world in order to know more about how he himself became God in the first place.
		The controversy between two different salvation plans, conceived respectively by God and by the Devil, the latter not involving suffering, is strangely reminiscent of Mormonism.

	Memnoch the Devil
		Memnoch the Devil is Anne Rice's personal favourite Vampire Chronicle.
		With its vast scope and epic scale, its themes of blood and redemption, temptation and damnation, Memnoch the Devil takes the Vampire Lestat to new and mesmerizing heights.
		As for the conclusion - it was a huge shock for me, I'm refering to Armand's apparent demise of course. For a vampire as powerful as Armand it seemed a little odd that he would be destroyed completely at the first glimpse of sunlight.

		It's an incredibly sympathetic view of the devil, painting him as an angel who could not comprehend the nature of suffering as it relates to God's vision.
		But all the while, there exists a distrust amongst the two partners, as Lestat questions the impact of what he's been told and the implication of a devil who could be more pure of heart than his God.
		I felt this book was amazing and it gave you a moment pause to think about the other side of the story of god and the devil.
