Encyclopedia of Demons in World Religions and Cultures

摘要

The author, a professional vampirologist", has catalogued nearly 3,000 demonic entities from the religious heritage and folklore of the world, ancient and modern. Each entry has a short article of varying length devoted to it, after which - a very good point - the source books are cited with page numbers. These sources reappear with publication details in an extensive bibliography, and there is a good index. There are also some generic entries, for example "familiar" and "fallen angels".
