The book is published by Indiana University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

"Quite an interesting book." (Religious Studies Review)

"It is by far superior to anything else on demons we have seen in the past few years." (The American Rationalist)

"Goodman is to be commended for a stimulating and wide-reaching treatment of a compelling and much-debated subject." (Journal of Folklore Research)
