Asmodeus In New York is a novel written by Ferdinand Longchamp and first published in 1868. The story follows the misadventures of a devil named Asmodeus, who is sent to New York City by Satan to corrupt its inhabitants. Asmodeus takes on various disguises and uses his supernatural powers to manipulate and tempt the people he encounters, including a wealthy businessman, a struggling artist, and a young woman from the countryside.
