Selección Terror: Con el Demonio no se Juega

# Museum Catalog Description

This issue of Selección Terror (No. 334, July 1979) features "Con el Demonio No Se Juega" by Joseph Berna, a horror-tinged romantic thriller. Journalist Jerry Flavin visits successful author Olivia Grant, who has achieved fortune with her humorous novel ¡A Satán le Gusta el Whisky!, featuring a comedic, drunk Satan character. Grant initially resists another interview but softens when charmed by Flavin's flattery and genuine interest. Their conversation turns philosophical—Grant dismisses belief in actual demonic existence as superstition and myth-making. Flavin remains ambiguous about his own beliefs, cautiously unwilling to mock supernatural forces. The encounter evolves from interview to flirtation; Flavin invites Grant to dinner, which she accepts. As Flavin departs, Grant anticipates the evening eagerly, selecting suggestive clothing and imagining intimate possibilities. The narrative suggests darker developments ahead, with the title hinting at supernatural consequences for her dismissive attitude toward evil.
