For as long human beings have been aware of their souls, they’ve tried to gamble them away to the forces of the underworld. In return for untold riches, absolutely power, or perhaps even spicy infernal love we’ve attempted to commune with dark entities to slake our dark desires. While the texts on this list won’t help you summon a demon (you’ll need a bonafide grimoire for that) they’ll certainly provide examples of why tampering with the Inferno’s denizens is a dismally bad idea. These are 10 best fantasy books about demons, and a PSA against making deals with them.
