Writer and historian Mikhail Orlov has collected impressive material on the views of medieval Europe on the unclean force. He describes in detail in what guises, according to demonologists, the devil appeared to people, what intrigues he committed, how agreements were made with him and souls were sold to him, how the unclean force seduced and kidnapped people, how the coven took place, who participated in them, etc. A separate section is devoted to demonic creatures of folk tales - elves, fairies, gnomes, which in the representations of the Middle Ages were not as harmless as in modern fairy tales, as well as werewolves, vampires, ghosts and other evil. And, of course, the author did not pass by the activities of the Inquisition - the persecution of the secret sciences and the organization of trials of sorcerers and witches. In additions to the sections tells about the characters of the Russian demonic pantheon and persecution of witches and sorcerers in Russia. Michael Orlov's book was first published in 1904. Here it is printed in a new edition and with small reductions.
