I am not even lying to you, this book is absolutely incredible. I love it. From the moment it arrived, I was glued to it, and when I finished reading it, it does not sit unused on my shelf. I have looked up things in there and read it again and again, just because it is such an interesting read. Highly recommend!!!!

I bought this book for a Short Story I am working on. And even though it has many passages of scripter taken from the Bible, I still found it to be very imformative. Much better than having to read works by DANTE. I still cant put the book down. A must have in anyone's home library.

Who would have ever though that such a small book could provide such a treasury of information on the damned. Though not as comprehensive (and boring) as other books on the subject- this book presents an interesting read.

I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN THE MOMENT I TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX!!

This book provide an interesting picture of your favourite denizens of the underworld, their habitat, and much more.

I'm a writer myself, and I can't say what I liked better about this book--the smart, accessible way it's written (and so many books on this topic tend to be overblown) or the wealth of fascinating information packed into it. Sometimes I write for TV and film, and every time I turned a page here I found something else, from golems to goblins, imps to incubi, that made me think, "Wow! Wouldn't that make a great idea for a movie or a TV episode!" As long as you don't steal my ideas from it, I recommend this book highly.

Although this book set out to do something admirable, it doesn't do it very well. It covers too much ground, and doesn't spend much time going into detail about each item included. This is really just a cute book for your coffee table -- not a serious book on demonology.

Robert Masello has done an outstanding job. "Fallen Angels..." was not possible to put down. The beauty of this book is that belief in such a topic is not necessary to be able to read what the author has tried to portray. What Masello has given may not entise your belief, but it is definitely food for thought. Being that he has also written in a reasonably simple form, no background knowledge is needed to understand what he is explaining. It is deeply entertaining and the few pictures that are also contained are incredibly interesting.

This is an incredible book that features most of fallen angels, demons and other legends from the beginning of time, to the present. Lots of documented accounts and plenty of excellent illustrations.

I loved the book but I was still looking for some things that weren't there. It explained a lot and was orderly and useful to my need.

I am often drawn to forgoten/esoteric with this book some
passages became less confusing. Few ancient texts cared to include
an adequate glossary for terms such as loa, lerajie, forcas, etc.
yet this book does contain them and many less farmiliar creatures in
addition the common vampire, lucifer, and zombie listings with a
more extensive description than offered popularly.
