The Master and Margarita

I am currently reading the critically acclaimed novel The Master and Margarita by the Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov.
The story takes place in two settings; in 1930's Moscow and in the Jerusalem of Pontius Pilate.  
Summary:
The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow. His retinue includes a two demons, a naked girl and a huge black cat that talks, walks upright, smokes cigars and is a dead shot with a Mauser automatic. Some of the devil's prank are sheer anarchic fun, more often they are chosen to bring out the worst everybody. When he leaves, the asylums are full, the forces of law and order are in dissaray and the population is haunted with feelings of guilt and shame. Amid this bizzare pantomime two people remain undiminished- the Master, a man single-mindedly devoted to the truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves.
Although I had not chosen to read this book specifically for Media, I have found that it relates strong to the theme/genre that we are studying: horror. Even though the book revolves around the devil, a figure typically associated with death, destruction and pain, he is portrayed completely differently as the audience would expect. Bulgakov writes in a variety of styles, most notably satire, farce, mysticism and romance.
