MYSTICAL: The Devil’s Bible

Around the year 1229, one Bohemian monk supposedly made a deal with the devil resulting in a giant book that was written in one single night. As the book exchanged hands over the following centuries, it was said to be cursed, even hypnotizing those who laid eyes on it. Today, the manuscript sits in a library in Stockholm, but nobody has fully explained how it was written or where its missing pages went or said.
