Book Review: Does Cover Some But Not Most Demons
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good book which covers the very basic of some history on demons, but not really much. As a Demonologist the world of paranormal and demons are rather "huge" right now and this would not teach or help those looking for answers about demons. I read this book and felt it could of been better with the research and more on the demons in different culturs such as in my own book Devils and Demonology in the 21st century. Thumbs down on this book, sorry.

Summary of A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angelsnd Other Subversive Spirits
This is the original guide on how to spot and identify demons and other subversive spirits?and what to do next! Demons, fairies, and fallen angels are everywhere. They lurk at crossroads, crouch behind doors, hide in trees, slip into beds, wait in caves, hover at weddings and childbirths, disguise themselves as friends and relatives?and even pretend to be you! They are powerful; they are protean; they are enchanting. And, to the uninformed, they are often invisible. This illustrated guide?the first of its kind?reveals the remarkable permutations of the demon and fairy species worldwide. Packed with lore about each demon, detailing its origins, the culture surrounding it, and its reputed antics and exploits, this is a fascinating exploration of global mythologies. Perfect for the armchair traveler and the intrepid, seasoned demon-spotter alike, this complete guide of subversive spirits offers a behind-the-scenes look at the devilish mishaps, impish irritations, and demonic devastations that can punctuate our lives. Be warned: demon-watching is thrilling, transforming, even addictive. Soon your FIELD GUIDE TO DEMONS will be absolutely indispensable!The Macks divert our gaze from our contemporary red-faced, cloven-hoofed misrepresentation of demons to remind us of the ancient roles demons were originally assigned to play. From the Tommyknockers of North American mountain mines to the South African Mbulu that waits in the river for lone travelers, A Field Guide to Demons classifies these creatures by their domains--water, mountain, forest--rather than in alphabetical or cultural order, dishing out antique and contemporary lore on these most misunderstood of spirits. A Field Guide to Demons melds folklore and mythology; maintains a surprisingly evenhanded view of demons; and reveals their role as the necessary challenger to established order, the antagonist--without which there could be no hero--and the darkness through which goodness shines brightest. --Brian Patterson
