The Sorrows of Satan
by Marie Corelli
A Faust novel and bestseller of his time targeted Jeffrey, a starving writer. Mail sends three letters, the first of which comes from a friend offering to help with admission. The latter tells him that he inherited the money. The third was written by Lucio, an aristocrat who supposedly knew the best way to invest his newfound fortune. It soon becomes clear that Lucio is the devil.
