Memnoch The Devil - Part 1 (Anne Rice

Lestat is confronted by a mysterious figure named Memnoch, who claims to be the Devil; Memnoch takes Lestat on a journey through Heaven and Hell, recounting history from his perspective to convince Lestat to join him in his opposition against God, essentially arguing that the Devil is not inherently evil but rather a rebel against God's perceived indifference to human suffering.
