Description

Speak of the Devil: An Anthology of Demonology, edited by Sterling North and C. B. Boutell, first edition hardcover with dust jacket art by Salvador Dali.

These 34 tales of fantasy and horror have one thing in common – they deal with the Devil, whether known as Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, or some lesser demon. He appears here in a variety of forms; some charming, some terrifying, all delightfully evil.
