Book description
Henry Mawdsley is a terrific liar. However, the more people get to
know him, the less they believe in his lies - and it won't be long
until nobody in his town believes a word he says! So when a chance
encounter with the devil offers him the opportunity to have everyone
believe his lies unconditionally for a week for the measly price of
his soul, Henry jumps at the chance. But as the week draws to a close,
and the date of Henry's descent into hell gets closer, he begins to
fear for his life . . .
Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously
