Overview

The Book of Demons: From Ancient Babylon to the Black Grimoires Enter a grand history of the adversary. The Book of Demons by Kye Sherman is a beautifully written journey through twenty centuries of fear, faith, ritual, and forbidden knowledge. From clay tablets and temple walls to cloisters, courts, grimoires, and the modern imagination, this book offers both scholarly care and dark literary grace. It is the definitive guide for readers who want substance, story, and staying power. Inside these pages you will discover the origins of Mesopotamian night spirits and Egyptian guardians of the Duat, the Hebrew traditions of Lilith and the Watchers, the Christian ages of possession and exorcism, and the Islamic vision of the jinn and shayatin. You will explore Indian Rakshasas, Buddhist Mara, Japanese Oni, and the restless Hungry Ghosts of East Asia. The infamous Solomonic tradition and the Goetia are examined in depth, with all seventy two spirits described clearly and contextually. The long story of witchcraft and persecution, the demonization of women, and the machinery of fear is traced with precision. The Renaissance conjurors, Romantic rebels, and modern visions of demons in psychology, literature, cinema, and digital culture complete the panorama. This book stands apart for its global scope, its complete Goetia section, and its ability to connect the past with the present. It is at once a serious work of history and a deeply engaging exploration of how humanity has imagined and confronted evil across time. The Book of Demons is perfect for readers of religion and myth who seek careful history told with narrative power, for occult students and practitioners who want a reliable frame for ritual texts and symbol systems, for writers and creators searching for a treasury of names and archetypes, and for curious minds who wish to understand how cultures explain suffering, temptation, and rebellion. Written with elegance and depth, this is not just another occult reference. It is a lasting work that will stay with you, unsettling and illuminating in equal measure.
