The most dangerous book that ever existed. More sinister than the Necronomicon. Grandfather of the Grimoires. This is the Shiatra Book of Damned or Book of Sins. It is a book about indulging totally in sin. The book of the Darkholders are the keepers of the dark. Let your heart burn with the blackness of the black flame of Satan.

This Delomelanicon, which means "Book of Summoning the Darkness" or "Invocation of Darkness" is a book of concealment about embracing the darkness hidden within the subconscious in order to have unconditionally self-acceptance. The verses in this book use Greek and Hebrew mythology as allegories about the chthonic or subconscious primal survival instincts of the mind. It is Kabbalistic as it focuses on the Dark Tree which is the roots of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, usually called by the Right-Hand Path of magic as the Qlippoth or Tree of Death. This is the opposite of the Biblical Book of Revelations which is about ascending from earth to heaven or Crown of Life which is the Crown of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, instead, this Book of Concealment is about descending from earth to hell, which is Kingdom on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life or root chakra in the chakras system in order to understand our animal instincts.

The woodcut engravings of Torchia and Lucifer of the Nine Gates are in this Delomelanicon which are explained through research based upon the teachings of Satanism. This tome will explain each gate and the path to them as a preparation into walking through each gate into hhe realm of Shadows.

Finding the superhero genre in need of further investigation from philosophical standpoints that value excess as a creative drive, rather than denigrate it as a problem to be resolved, this book opens up discussions that highlight different approaches to ‘the creative excess of being’ as expressed through the genre. While superheroes are an everyday, culturally dominant phenomena, philosophical methods and investigations have a reputation for lofty superiority. Across 13 chapters, this book facilitates a collision between the superhero genre and the discipline of philosophy, resulting in a voyage of exploration where each illuminates the other. The contributions in this book range from new voices to recognized scholars, offering superhero studies a set of critical interventions that are unusual, conceptually diverse, theoretically grounded and varied in practice. These chapters consider ‘excessive’ traits of superheroes against schools of thought that have attempted to conceptualize and understand excess by analysing texts and figures across a variety of mediums, such as The Fantastic Four, Captain America, The Vision, Logan, Black Panther and Super Hero Girls. With its unique approach to the superhero genre, this book will be an invaluable read for students and scholars working on comic studies, transmedia studies, cultural studies, popular culture and superhero studies.

Horror comics were among the first comic books published--ghastly tales that soon developed an avid young readership, along with a bad reputation. Parent groups, psychologists, even the United States government joined in a crusade to wipe out the horror comics industry--and they almost succeeded. Yet the genre survived and flourished, from the 1950s to today. This history covers the tribulations endured by horror comics creators and the broader impact on the comics industry. The genre's ultimate success helped launch the careers of many of the biggest names in comics. Their stories and the stories of other key players are included, along with a few surprises.
