Seven Footprints to Satan, by Abraham Merritt (1884 - 1943)
One wrong step and you owe Satan a service. Two wrong steps and you are his slave for a year. Three wrong steps and your are HIS, body and soul, FOREVER. But if you take four right steps, his vast wealth and kingdom will be yours! Do you dare take the challenge and face his black throne? (Summary by Ben Tucker)

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Yep, this is a fun one! It's worth noting at the time it came out, it was seen as a pretty big departure for Merritt who was mainly known for his florid, elaborate fantasies like The Ship of Ishtar and The Moon Pool.
