The Devil's Prayer Book: A Gothic Compendium of Prayers, Invocations, and Curses Recorded in Folklore
The Devil's Prayer Book is a lavish Gothic compendium by Talde Lucan, gathering prayers, invocations, bindings, and curses remembered in folklore and shadowed history. It reads like a relic lifted from a chapel of night, a volume for readers who love sacred terror, old rites, and the dark poetry of belief.
Within these pages the unseen is named with solemn care. The Devil is addressed by his many titles, the midnight hour is opened, thresholds are guarded, saints are invoked, and final words are weighed like iron. Each chapter is written in a rich, lyrical cadence that treats language as power and prayer as action.
This Collector's Gothic Edition presents a complete cycle of twelve expansive chapters, an ornate appendix, and new atmospheric pieces to deepen the aura of a forbidden archive.

For readers of Gothic literature, occult folklore, and sacred ritual, this edition offers a dark mirror and a quiet lamp. Open it with care. Close it with reverence.
