The Complete Book of Devils and Demons 11 reviews Leonard R.N. Ashley
Barricade Books, 1996
Fascinating but hard to follow
The book is a good reference point for those looking into this subject for the first time. While the author provides a lot of information, her style in presenting it leaves something to be desired. The book format is put together in such a way that it makes it difficult for the reader to follow. ...

History of Torture Throughout the Ages 1 review George Ryley Scott
Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2003
Not worth the money
For north of $100, this book is not worth it! I bought it as a gift, expecting something special, and I got a hardback which is quite ordinary in its appearance. Buy the older paperback version - this hardback version and its price is a joke.

Kamikaze: Japan's Suicide Samurai 3 reviews Raymond Lamont-Brown
Book Sales, 2004
The best book in English on the Subject
+ The Kamikaze was much more than you thought it was
I have read many works on Japan's special attack units, and this is the best. The book is lucid, fact-filled, and objective.
As for the so-called "spelling errors" mentioned by the other reviewer, the author is British! British spelling is different!

The Damned (La-Bas) (Penguin Classics) 4 reviews Joris-Karl Huysmans
Penguin Classics, 2002
Catholic Mysticism Of The Highest Order
+ Despite minor flaws pretty ingenuis
People trying to get a kind of occult/gothic aura from this book are wasting their time. This is a luxurious slice of Catholic ritual. Read it in conjunction with Saint Louis de Montfort's THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY, specifically "The Seventh Rose". La-bas is the Latin Rite in concentrate.
