 FACT: While showing off his collection to Corso, Fargas presents a  "Dictionaire Infernal" by Collin de Plancy, which he says is a first  edition from 1844. The first edition of this influential demonology  encyclopedia appeared in 1818, but its sixth edition, published in  1863, is prized for its illustrations, including 72 drawings of  demons. The copy Fargas holds has a title page that appears to be  from the 1863 edition.
