The Devil Notebooks "establishes the astonishing extent to which contemporary pop culture has been deeply preoccupied with demons, succubi, possession, aliens, sexuality of all kinds, and the end of the world. The Devil, then, offers up a counter-history of humankind--a history from below as it were--that Rickels deploys with verve in a truly fascinating and important study of how and why the world as we know it has gone to Hell." --Michael Dorland, Carleton University
