A lamia is most often described as a demon. It could be something he summoned, or something he's sitting next to in Hell, or something sent to him to torment him. The Prodigal Son, the title, is based on the parable in the Bible, where a man's son wandered off, squandered his inheritance, and comes back promising to do better. The dad takes him back. The title basically means that the narrator strayed into evil, and he's trying to come back and be a good person.
