Editorial Review 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 spiritsÑand 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 relativesÑand even pretend to be you! They are powerful; they are protean; they are enchanting. And, to the uninformed, they are often invisible. This illustrated guideÑthe first of its kindÑreveals 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!
Customer Reviews of A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angelsnd Other Subversive Spirits
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: An interesting reference book
Review: I bought this as a companion to Gustav Davidson's A Dictionary of Angels. "A Field Guide" makes for an interesting reference book. I, frankly, was expecting a little more on house spirits, but all in all it's not bad and makes for a decent read.
What I found somewhat humorous, though, while reading this was when I reached the end of the Desert section of the book. Where page 155 should be, page 123 abruptly makes an appearance (the beginning of the Forest section), along with every sentence of content thereafter, right to the end of the book. And no, I am not kidding.
After reading over 150 pages of content on mischievous creatures from various places around the world, I had to stop and laugh at this. I'd like to say that this is a print error on the part of the publisher, but it makes for funny review content and is quite ironic considering the subject matter.
Personally, if I'd have had the chance to peruse this in a book store before buying, I'd probably have passed it up, repeated content not withstanding (I'm considering that an ironic coincidence).

Review Summary: Good read
Review: Although i was looking forward to reading this book, i was still surprised to how interesting it was. Although the author has a certain view on demons and mythological creatures which you will most likely disagree with, once you get past this you will be reading a very well documented book which gives great information on a wide variety of creatures, some of them with an illustration, but strange enough THE ILLUSTRATIONS SOMETIMES DO NOT MATCH. i would read the description of the creature closely, and when looking at the illustration you would wonder if the illustration was suppose to be used with another creature in the book, or was simply placed there to fill space.
All and all, it is worth a read and will keep you turning page after page.

Review Summary: Nothing really exciting
Review: This is a very well organized book and that's the reason it is so easy to read. It is more of a story book and definately not for someone that is looking to learn about demons and spirits in depth.

Review Summary: Pleasantly surprised
Review: I was pleasantly surprised at the range and number of little nasties in this book. It includes many i would not think to be here, and shows how many are alike. As some other have said, it doesnt go in depth, which would have been nice, but it DOES say how to defeat them, which i can attest work.

Review Summary: just a story book
Review: This book is nothing more than a collection of mythology which have very little basis in reality. If your looking to expand your knowledge of demons this is not the book for you. Some entertainment value though!
