Book Reviews of The Encyclopedia of Hell
Book Review: A Note from the Author
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not sure what motivated the review that contends much is "missing" from this book or if that reviewer was somehow confused, but I wanted to set the record straight. There ARE in fact entries that cover Virgil, Baal, Beelzebub, etc. --- a simple glance at the index can help readers find these. But please do note this is NOT a book on "Demonology" (Amazon has many excellent options that do focus on this subject) but rather on the interpretations of HELL from various cultures, religions and eras. A special emphasis IS given to pop culture and media, since these topics are usually NOT covered by other works on the afterlife, which tend to concentrate mainly on religious and mythic beliefs. Overall, this work is intended as a "primer" for those interested in the diversions as well as intersections about various "infernal" concepts. In fact, this book has been used as source material for programs on The Learning Channel, In Search Of..., The History Channel, NPR and ABC World News among others. It's a great place to start to "learn, so you don't burn!"
