Thanks to [MENTION=16291]Harry Dresden[/MENTION] for this recommendation. This is how the author's most recent book began.
I'm in a window seat at Donut Universe eating heart-crippling lumps of deep-fried dough with the Devil. Ex-Devil, technically, but then technically we're both ex-Devils. He was Lucifer before I was. Now he's Samael and I'm back to just plain Stark.
I take a bite of an apple fritter.
"How's your donut?"
Samael eyes his glazed old-fashioned suspiciously, like maybe it's haunted.
"Charming. Did I invent these? They taste like something to destroy mortals from the inside out."
Candy says, "Nope. We came up with them all on our own."
"How wonderfully suicidal you people are. Donuts must be the essence of free will."
From Kill City Blues, Richard Kadrey
