Its extensive cross-referencing also supplies links between various concepts and characters from the netherworld and provides further information on particular theories. The result is a catalog of underworld data, with entries running the gamut from descriptions of grisly pits of torture to humorous cartoons lampooning the everlasting abyss. Sources include African legends, Native American stories, Asian folktales, and other more obscure references, in addition to familiar infernal chronicles from Western lore. Organized in a simple-to-use alphabetic format, entries cover representations of the dark realm of the dead in mythology, religion, works of art, opera, literature, theater, music, film, and television. The Encyclopedia of Hell is a comprehensive survey of the underworld, drawing information from cultures around the globe and eras throughout history. Over the past fifteen years, Olson has written and produced nine comedy specials, inflicted on the populace via CBS, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and A&E. Martin Olson's savage wit provides the firepower for a preposterous literary feat unaccomplished since Mark Twain passed-channeling the real voice of Satan.

Since this book is the 666th commemorative edition, this Encyclopaedia contains special commemorative material. Satan needs more land mass for the damned and to use the human livestock to feed his hungry demon invaders. A masterpiece expressing Satan's hatred for humanity and himself, the Encyclopaedia includes 'Techniques of Stalking and Eating Humans,' 'Methods of Canning Human Pus,' and 'Dicing and Slicing Orphaned Children.' Why the invasion? During the last century in particular, Hell has become seriously overcrowded.

Since the customs and mores of humanity are alien and inconceivable to demons, Satan wrote this strangely poetic military handbook for the enlightenment and edification of his demon armies. A tour de force of darkness, Encyclopaedia of Hell is a manual of Earth written by Lord Satan for his invading hordes of demons, complete with hundreds of unpleasant illustrations, diagrams, and a comprehensive and utterly repulsive dictionary of Earth terms.
