TIL about the Dictionnaire Infernal, a book on demonology first published in 1818. Initially a work of fiction, author Collin de Plancy later converted to Roman Catholicism and amended the book: the final edition aligns with Catholic theology and affirms the existence of the demons.

There’s no demons. There’s people, and people are often worse than the demons we think up.
