“Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”

—The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis.

“My Dear Wormwood, Be sure that the patient remains completely fixated on politics. Arguments, political gossip, and obsessing on the faults of people they have never met serves as an excellent distraction from advancing in personal virtue, character, and the things the patient can control. Make sure to keep the patient in a constant state of angst, frustration and general disdain towards the rest of the human race in order to avoid any kind of charity or inner peace from further developing. Ensure that the patient continues to believe that the problem is “out there” in the “broken system” rather than recognizing there is a problem with himself. Keep up the good work, Uncle Screwtape”

— C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Once Dracula Daily's done, I think one of the books we should put in email format next is The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. It would be so funny for us to recieve an email every other day from our tired demon uncle Screwtape chastising us for being incompetent at our job.
