CAB Comment––Almost the moment the iconic film “The Exorcist” exploded onto movie screens on December 26, 1973, a load of books about exorcism also exploded onto the bookshelves of booksellers worldwide. This 1974 edition of “The Devil’s Bride–Exorcism: Past & Present” is an excellent example of sating world hunger for more about Satan, Lucifer, their legion of demons, and the devilish how and why of it all. As for myself, I can’t get enough of these vintage books, their hip history of religious taboos, and often very colorful 70’s covers. The dust jacket of “The Devil’s Bride”, however, is exceptionally unique in it’s macabre clutter of creepy goodies that might easily appear on a book cover today, or on display in a gallery exhibiting a modern gothic artist’s Photoshopped grim mosaic- and montage-photos or found-object dioramas.

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.
Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you. Every book with a dust jacket has been carefully placed in a BroDart protective archival cover. All sales are final.
