	Towards a New Demonology
		Basing himself on the demonology of the severe second-century Latin Christian Tertullian, who was himself later in his life to embrace the ecstatic doctrines and practices of Montanism, Pierre Klossowski offers a more doctrinally-based account of why this should be so.
		We have become in the West a society of ecstatic submission to powers, presences, influences and fascinations, whose names are Legion, and all of which act as a guarantee of the capacity at once to be exposed to and to be able to hold together in the face of that which exceeds and besieges us.
		All that would remain would be for me to define a new demonology in the exposure and denunciation of this new demonism, to call for an end, like Samnuel Harsnett, to this infantile mummery, this submission of our human reason and responsibility to fantasms of inhuman powers that are powerful in proportion to their unreality.

	Bookreporter.com - DEMONOLOGY by Rick Moody
		DEMONOLOGY is a collection of 13 of Moody's short stories (although "The Carnival Tradition" is more accurately classified as a novella) that run the gamut of styles, topics, and quality.
		Moody, however, occasionally needs to rein in his tendency to be cute; "Pan's Fair Thong" is ultimately little more than an elegant time-waster, while "Ineluctable Modality of the Vaginal" is narrated as a single, 16-page sentence, which is ultimately a stylistic distraction from an interesting story.
		If there is one unifying theme to the stories in DEMONOLOGY it is the loss of family members.

	Demonology
		Demonology is the science or doctrine concerning demons and is more often than not associated with theology—the science or doctrine about God.
		The majority of the literature placed under demonology is tainted with errors that may in fact owe their origin to ‘the father of falsehood’, and furthermore (especially the more practical portions—ascetical and mystical demonology) is designed to lead men to give theirselves to the service of Satan.
		The truest doctrine about demons and evil spirits is namely Catholic theology which deals with the creation and fall of the rebelled angels, and which deals with the various ways in which these fallen spirits are permitted to tempt and afflict the children of men.
