A tour de force of darkness, Encyclopaedia of Hell is a manual of Earth written by Lord Satan for his invading hordes of demons, complete with hundreds of unpleasant illustrations, diagrams, and a comprehensive and utterly repulsive dictionary of Earth terms.
Since the customs and mores of humanity are alien and inconceivable to demons, Satan wrote this strangely poetic military handbook for the enlightenment and edification of his demon armies.
Why the invasion? During the last century in particular, Hell has become seriously overcrowded. Satan needs more land mass for the damned and to use human livestock to feed his hungry demon invaders.
Since this book is the 666th commemorative edition, this Encyclopaedia contains special commemorative material dedicated to enhancing evil in your community.

Mahendra Singh was an art director/illustrator in the humid ambience of Washington, DC, the inspiration for many of the personae depicted in this bk. He fled for the humid and frozen ambience of Montreal gaining notoriety as an expert illustrator of all things Lewis Carroll/Surrealist. He now designs tin-foil turbans for Hindus hearing voices in Brahmin' heads, takes Buddhists to Nirvana concerts & helps atheists distribute blank pamphlets on the subway. His illustrations for this book were inspired by a lust for money and a solipsistic arrogance further encouraged by the honeyed tongue of Martin Olson.
