The Dictionary of Demons: Names of the Damned (2010)
The Dictionary of Demons starts with a simple premise: names have power. In medieval and Renaissance Europe, it was believed that speaking a demon’s true name could summon it, compel it, and bind it.

With research sourced by the world’s greatest libraries, Robbins has compiled a rational, balanced history of 300 years of horror concentrated primarily in Western Europe. Spanning from the 15th century through the 18th century, the witch-hunt frenzy marks a period of suppressed rational thought; never before have so many been so wrong.

Grimorium Verum is one of the most notorious handbooks of black magic — one of the few that deals openly with spirits of darkness.

There are many texts purporting to reveal Solomon’s methods, but most are extremely complicated and difficult. Grimorium Verum is one of the easier texts, but also one of the most sinister.
