Synopsis
The Devil is a satanic compendium of angels gone bad, the flipside to our immensely popular Saints (over 35,000 copies sold). Filled with gorgeous art and a silvery, rich design, The Devil presents the stories, speculation, history, and theology of the dark side, including information on the Devil's various names and incarnations; demons; Hell and similar devilish abodes; damnation; heretics, witches, warlocks, and other diabolical creatures; and protection against the Devil. Whether you call him Lucifer, Satan, Leviathan, Beelzebub, or the Prince of Darkness, the Devil gets his due in this wickedly entertaining, informative, and mysteriously alluring volume.
