Reviews"There are few people who leave me in utter awe of their encyclopedic expertise of the occult. M. Belanger is one of those people and The Dictionary of Demons serves as concrete proof. Belanger uniquely has a foot in the world of occult scholarship and research and that of active occultism and paranormal investigation, giving Belanger unique insights that can't be gained from one field alone. If ever there was a real-world equivalent of Rupert Giles from Buffy, it would definitely be M. Belanger. This tenth-anniversary edition of The Dictionary of Demons is even more delicious than the original. Its beautiful covers contain expanded and additional material as well as unreleased material that was edited out of the original. From 'Aariel' to 'Zynextyur,' this is the most comprehensive book that you will find on the subject of demonology. Just as valuable are the numerous appendices, such as demonic correspondences and the angels who constrain which demons. This fascinating book belongs on every practicing witch, magician, occultist, and paranormal investigator's bookshelf."--Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick & Manifestation "The Dictionary of Demons is a simply amazing compendium of infernal information and graphics from around the world. In equal parts scholarly and entertaining, you can use it as a reference tool or just open it at random and get lost in fantastic new worlds. If you're interested in Biblical studies, mythology, folklore, or fantasy literature, The Dictionary of Demons is a must-have."--Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series, "There are few people who leave me in utter awe of their encyclopedic expertise of the occult.
