The animals were innocent. The accusations were human.

The Devil's Animals explores the dark and fascinating history of the creatures that were blamed, feared, cursed, hunted, and imagined as servants of evil.

Across centuries of European folklore, Christian demonology, witch trial records, bestiaries, sermons, legends, and superstition, certain animals became more than animals. Black cats became familiars. Goats became the face of the sabbath. Serpents became tempters. Wolves became devourers of the human world. Owls became birds of death. Toads, ravens, bats, black dogs, pigs, horses, and strange hybrid beasts were all drawn into a symbolic world where fear needed a body, and evil was given fur, feather, scale, horn, and claw.
