Diabolical
Edited by Alkistis Dimech and Peter Grey


Diabolical is a weighty tome including nine colour plates of original infernal artwork from Stafford Stone, Kyle Fite, Thomas Karlsson, and Johnny Jakobsson. Bound in red cloth shot through with charred black. The cover is stamped with the devil's verse in heavy black fractur.

It comes in an edition of 999 copies, hand numbered in dragon's blood ink.

Diabolical continues the trajectory of Howlings, deeper and darker into the grimoire tradition. From the Taufer books and Le Dragon Rouge to Liber 231 and the works of Kenneth Grant.
