On June 6, 1944, two million allied troops invaded five beaches on the coast of Normandy, France to ultimately defeat Nazi Germany in WWII. It was a massive invasion force. Likewise, there has been a massive invasion force of demons into our world that is millions of times larger than the force at Normandy. They invaded thousands of years ago and have spanned the globe to infiltrate every place that humans exist and live. They have doomed untold billions to hell for all eternity through their deceptions. How have they done this? You may be shocked and surprised at the answers. Don't be deceived!

An extremely imaginative and lyrical Invasion Manual of Earth - not for Aliens, but for Demons. Encyclopaedia of Hell has been hailed by critics such as Fred Durst, Penn and Teller and Lars Ulrich as one of the funniest books ever written. Penned by Lord Satan himself and complete with illustrations, diagrammes and an encyclopaedia of Earth Terms, this strange, ancient book will enlighten and edify all demon invaders.

A summons gone very wrong, a demon lord bent on worldwide destruction, and a hated enemy turned temporary ally make this necromancer’s day a complete nightmare. When a warlock calls asking for help, Marcus Blackmoor hangs up. After all, everyone knows the only good warlock is one who was never born. They murdered his parents, so this one can rot in prison where he belongs. But Marcus gets dragged into the investigation anyway since a soul needs interrogating and he's the right necromancer for the job. Except, all the souls have gone missing and there's a terrible evil invading the spirit realm. It will take the combined help of his ghostly best friend, the warlock, and a kick butt fire mage to find the vengeful demon lord and banish him before he raises an army the likes of which has never been seen.

The demon lord Zeracth has a plan to take an army to the world of Illuma. However, his spawn Glezxnodin has his own plans to save his people and create a demon nation. Illuma at first appears ripe for the taking, but the world has changed since the demons fled ages ago and many new challenges await them. There is a glossary at the back with pronunciations for demon names.

All the Demon Beast comics, five full issues, are collected in this demonic, sexy, uncensored graphic novel.

But the most shocking revelation is yet to come. . . . Praise for Demons “Barely street-legal, Shirley’s Bosch-like visions mark him out as perhaps the closest thing contemporary American fantasy has to a genuine ‘outsider artist.’”—William Gibson “John Shirley is an adventurer, returning from dark and troubled regions with visionary tales to tell. I heartily recommend a journey with John Shirley at your side.”—Clive Barker “John Shirley writes like a runaway train. . . . Intensely suspenseful, visionary, surreal, and every bit as gritty and immediate and believable as a police report, this book will scare you, dazzle you, and delight you.”—Tim Powers
