Has no direct relation to the 1990 film of the same name, although they are both comedies that involve possession.
This novel provides examples of:
- Fantastic Slurs: Kiriel makes a point that the term "demon" carries too much negativity to it for him to really accept it. He prefers "Fallen Angel."
- Karmic Reform Hell: Hell is not described as a place of eternal pain and suffering. If anything, from the way Kiriel describes it, Hell is a place where the damned torment themselves, the Fallen Angels watching over them acting as dark reflections of themselves to work off of. Once the damned feel they have served out their punishment, they move on to somewhere else.
- You Need to Get Laid: When Kiriel finds out that angels from Heaven are coming to evict him from Shaun's body (as well as discovering just how great masturbation feels), he decides to make having sex with another person one of his big goals. He doesn't succeed, but he learns what it's like to be human along the way.
