Traven's "Assembly Line" and Its Sources in Scripture, the Faust Legend, and New England Puritanism -- 12 Visions of Hell in Flannery O'Connor -- 13 "He Haunts One for Hours Afterwards": Demonic Dissonance in Milton's Satan and Lovecraft's Nyarlathotep -- 14 "The One Who Knocks:" Milton's Lucifer and the American Tragic Character -- 15 Reading the devil in the landscape -- 16 A Landscape of the Damned: Evil and Nothingness in Cormac McCarthy's Outer Dark.

This collection of essays analyzes global depictions of the devil from theological, Biblical, and literary perspectives, spanning the late Middle Ages to the 21st century. The chapters explore demonic representations in the literary works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Dante Alighieri, Charles Baudelaire, John Milton, H.P. Lovecraft, and Cormac McCarthy, among others. The text examines other media such as the operas Orfeo and Erminia sul Giordano and the television shows Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and Mad Men. The Hermeneutics of Hell, featuring an international set of established and up-and-coming authors, masterfully examines the evolution of the devil from the Biblical accounts of the Middle Ages to the individualized presence of the modern world.
