In The Devil Walks Past, Samuel Ludke leads readers down shadowed streets where memory, faith, and despair collide. This haunting collection of poems explores the fragile line between sin and salvation, love and betrayal, hope and ruin. With raw honesty and lyrical intensity, Ludke writes of the ghosts that linger in the heart, the voices that echo in silence, and the weight of choices that cannot be undone.

Each poem feels like a whispered confession—sometimes tender, sometimes terrifying—yet always alive with unflinching humanity. The Devil Walks Past is not just a journey into darkness, but an invitation to confront it, to recognize it in ourselves, and to walk forward changed.
