Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology

Ed Simon maps the genealogy and history of Satan and his fallen angels, tracing figures such as Asmodeus, Ziminiar, Beelzebub, Azazel, Lilith, and Moloch. The work compiles shorter individual entries for specific spirits alongside an analysis of their wider influence across Western culture. Coverage spans early scriptural references in the New Testament, progressing through the Enlightenment and Romantic eras into periods where demonological depictions took on subtler forms. Simon relies on canonical literary sources, including Dante's The Divine Comedy and John Milton's Paradise Lost, to construct this compendium of infernal entities. Published in hardcover by Cernunnos, this volume brings visual art, religious history, and demonological studies together under a single subject. It provides a visual history of Satan's kingdom, examining the way these figures shaped Western art, literature, and religious traditions over centuries of development. This work suits readers seeking an organized history of demonology, satanism, and historical occultism with a focus on art and literature. Readers looking for practical ritual manuals, contemporary spellwork, or modern devotional occult guides will find that this material remains strictly historical and literary.
