A history of evil in easily digestable bite-sized pieces
An amazingly interesting history of evil covering everything from exorcism to pixies. Leonard R.N. Ashley succeeds in sustaining the readers interest by delivering hundreds of short punchy titbits of information, some chapters being only a couple of lines long, meaning you can pick it up and thumb through it, whenever you have a few minutes to spare. Particularly interesting, are the details of how various religions adopted their enemies gods to become their demons, and a list of the 103 angels who fell from heaven with Satan. All in all, a very well researched, thoughtprovoking book on a thoroughly interesting subject.

A darkly fascinating book.
Demonology has always fascinated me and this is a good book with wich to explore the subject. You'll find much, not just about demons and devils but also angels, ancient gods, witches and faeries. There are also short biographies on many famous and infamous characters connected with the subject. A well written and well researched book.

A Truly Educational Book
Leonard R. N Ashley offers a complete explination of demons and devils. he provides and shows an in depth knowledge of the subject of demonology and satanism. Anyone interested in the subject should buy this book.
