Excellent encyclopedia on demons. The only disappointment is finding out how similar most of them are.
Feb 15, 2019M.E. rated it really liked it · review of another edition
A very thorough tome. The writing a little dry to read cover to cover, but it's really not designed for that. It's really designed to be a reference book and is quite good at that.
Feb 22, 2010Scott rated it liked it
Very good collection of demon lore, although some entries felt like duplicate, cut-and-paste for the sake of increasing the page numbers. Still, well-researched and unbiased.
Sep 21, 2012Ms. Nikki rated it really liked it
The 72 demon's powers and attributes (if you want to call them that) were similar and sometimes exactly the same, but with a different amount of legions. Although, some demons work together I would have liked to have seen a list of the hierarchy. There is mention of dukes, marquis, grand dukes, earls, princes, kings, and presidents. Should I use modern time lists to see who is the most powerful or what.

I got this book because I have always been interested in mythology.
The good: This book is pretty thorough when talking about the various demons in Christian mythology, as well as the witch hysteria in Europe.
The bad: Although there are entries on Islam,Hinduism, and Zoroastrianism, This book is heavily Euro-centric. If you want to learn about evil spirits in non European belief systems, you might want to look elsewhere.
The disconcerting: I get the distinct impression that the author thinks tha..more

Splendid!
The book really was not what I had expexted, it was a real let down :{

Se o que você procura é uma enciclopédia criteriosa, com um editor não enviesado, ponto de vista acadêmico, esse livro NÃO é o que procura.
Not my usual taste, but I've been on a religious nonfiction kick lately, and I figured this would be an interesting way to learn about historical religion. 'Interesting' is stretching it at times, but it's a thorough treatment of all kinds of crazy things: artistic representation of various demons, the non-biblical Solomon legends (hosts and hosts of demons, most of which have wacky powers), various hauntings, and a dash of spiritism. The witch panics are probably the most interesting entries--s..more

A facinating and useful history of demonology and will appeal to many people - not just the spooky brigade. The only complaint is some of the drawings are a bit cartoonish next to the historical woodcuts. Ms Guiley is one of the few writers into the supernatural who works hard to deliver non-sensationalists information concerning the shadowlands of the human experience.
Es bueno, es como leer el diccionario, es para consultar cosas especificas, es un libro muy completo, abarca toda la descripción real y mitológica de los demonios desde el antiguo Egipto hasta la actualidad.

Recommends it for: horror/supernatural aficionados
Excellent, detailed encyclopedia of some of the most arcane material a horror aficionado could desire. I marked that I have read 50% of it as I occasionally return to it for researching background material for my stories. However, it is fascinating just to leaf through and pick topics at random.
awesome book
Tough to slog through at times (it's like reading the encyclopedia..oh, wait), but interesting nonetheless.

This is a list of demons that appear in religion, theology, demonology, mythology, and folklore. It is not a list of names of demons, although some are listed by more than one name.

Baseball pitching charts printable. The list of fictional demons includes those from literary fiction with theological aspirations, such as Dante's Inferno. Because numerous lists of legendary creatures concern mythology, folklore, and folk fairy tales, much overlap may be expected.
