The Devil's Bible

The Devil's Bible examines demonology through Fred Batt’s personal experiences, historical material and accounts associated with reported demonic activity. The book discusses possession, exorcism, protective practices, ritual traditions and the claimed dangers of summoning or experimenting with malevolent forces. Its title refers to the Codex Gigas, the medieval manuscript also known as the Devil’s Bible.

Batt’s subject matter ranges from British locations such as the Hellfire Caves and 30 East Drive to Houska Castle in the Czech Republic. Drawing on his work as a demonologist and appearances on Most Haunted, he presents reported encounters alongside material on demonic hierarchies, ceremonies and occult practices, treating the darker side of paranormal investigation as both a subject of study and a source of serious caution.
