Discover Demonology and Devil-Lore by Moncure Daniel Conway, a substantial study of the beliefs, myths and traditions surrounding supernatural evil. Spanning almost 1,000 pages across two volumes, the work explores how gods became demons, how natural forces took on monstrous forms, and how the figure of the Devil developed across cultures.

The bundle includes:

• Demonology and Devil-Lore 1 — Examines the distinction between demons and devils, the development of dualism, and the transformation of older deities into demonic figures. Themes include hunger, heat, cold, animals, darkness and storms, followed by an extensive exploration of serpents, dragons, werewolves and basilisks.
• Demonology and Devil-Lore 2 — Turns to the Devil and related traditions, exploring figures such as Ahriman, Lilith, Samael and Satan, alongside exorcism, magical seals, the witches’ Sabbath, the Wild Hunt, Faust and Mephistopheles.

Read together, these volumes offer a rich historical reference for readers interested in demonology, comparative mythology, folklore and the history of religion.
