# Catalog Description
La Favorita de Satán (Satan's Favorite), by Adam Surray, appears in this 1978 Spanish pulp horror collection. The narrative opens with Kathleen Conway, a twenty-year-old heiress to the Conway Metals fortune, sleepwalking into a nocturnal forest ritual. Seven robed, masked figures conduct a satanic ceremony, invoking Lucifer and demonic princes while Kathleen, entranced, sacrifices a dove with a serpent-handled dagger. A supernatural being named Leonardo materializes to seduce her. Kathleen awakens screaming in her bed, discovering the ceremonial dagger impossibly present on her nightstand—wet hair and dampened negligé suggesting the nightmare's physical reality. The narrative then shifts to private investigator Jerry Markham in his office with his secretary Mariane Salkow, interrupted by Kathleen's arrival seeking his services. The story combines supernatural horror with detective fiction elements, exploring whether the satanic encounter was genuine or psychological.
