They call it HellCorp™. We call it a wake-up call.
It’s 2025. Political corruption swirls through every headline. Faith has been branded, marketed, and packaged for mass consumption. The West wears Christianity like an accessory—polished on Sundays, forgotten by Monday morning.
Enter Victor Shade, a sleek senior executive in HellCorp’s Department of Human Affairs. His target? Ethan—an ordinary man caught between shallow faith and the deep life God intended. Shade’s weapon? Zane Blackwell, an overeager (and frequently inept) junior tempter whose blunders would be laughable… if the stakes weren’t eternal.
Through a series of scathing “memos,” Victor schools Zane on the modern art of soul sabotage—using everything from digital addiction and identity politics to church consumerism and the so-called “therapeutic gospel.” Along the way, other HellCorp operatives—Vorhees, Ashburn and Blightheart—slither in to lend their own brand of poisonous expertise.
Darkly witty and uncomfortably insightful, Victor Shade’s letters expose the schemes of the enemy in a way that is as convicting as it is entertaining. Whether you laugh, squirm, or find yourself in the crosshairs, one thing is certain: you’ll never see temptation the same way again.

David O. Harrison’s The Victor Shade Memos is a masterful reimagining of C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, updated with sharp wit and biting commentary on corporate culture. The concept of “HellCorp™” is both hilarious and chilling, perfectly capturing the absurdities of modern bureaucracy while weaving in timeless moral lessons. Harrison’s writing is clever, thought‑provoking, and endlessly entertaining — a book that makes you laugh even as it makes you think. This is a must‑read for fans of satire, allegory, and anyone who enjoys seeing eternal themes reframed in today’s world.
