u could try Dante’s Inferno. which is actually three books divided into 33 cantos which thouroughly describe Dante’s experience traveling through the various divisions of hell.

The Goetia is the closest you’re going to get to a worthwhile book on demons themselves. Anything else is fear-inspired babble and is, generally, impractical, false and useless as anything other than entertainment.

However, it’s still fairly… eh. I wouldn’t use it. It’s entirely disrespectful and abusive towards the demons, and that’s not good.

The OFS demonolatry site gives the following books as recommended reading, though, so maybe they’re decent:

The Complete Book of Demonlatry, S. Connolly
Goetic Demonolatry, Ellen Purswell
Demonolatry Rites, S. Connolly

Good luck… and do be careful. 😛 I’m not sure why you want the books, but it’s nothing to toy around with, for good or for ill.

Cheers.
