You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is VERY RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and a classic history of devils and demons in religion, society, folklore, literature and culture written by NANCY GARDEN published as part of "The Weird and Horrible Library"--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST EDITION softcover copy published in 1976. This book is in SUPERB condition and has a very small owner's name, date of purchase, and tiny round yellow sticker on the half title page, a couple of very slight creases on the lower left of the front surface and slight scuffs on the lower portion of the back surface and just slight shelfwear and slight evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled Devils and Demons: The Weird and Horrible Library and it was written by NANCY GARDEN; it was published by J. B. Lippincott Company in 1976 and is a STATED 1st EDITION copy.Why does it rain? Why do crops fail? Why to people get sick?Because of devils and demons, silly!Throughout history people from around the world have believed in devils and demons, and even today some people are convinced they exist. In this book, Nancy Garden takes a fearless look as some of these fearful phenomena, including the Terrible Seven, the very thought of whom made Scrooge shudder...Moloch, a god who became a demon...Asmodeus, powerful enough to trick the mighty King Solomon...Chinese demons that live in the future...and the Archfiend himself, Satan. She also delves into the dark reaches of Devil worship, possession, and exorcism. And for the very courageous, there are several specially selected spells--to be used only at your own risk.Three months after the publication of this book, the decapitated body of author Nancy Garden was found in a wooded area near Salem, Massachusetts, where it is believed that she was researching a sequel to Devils and Demons which she claimed would "tell the WHOLE never-before-told truth about the demons that haunt our world." Her severed head was never found.Did she know too much?A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
