Krampus: The Devil of Christmas: Pre-WWI Krampus Postcard Reproductiions is literally a postcard reprint book. It's a novelty item, not academic in any way.
The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil is entertaining folklore, sure, but it's still a seasonal deep dive and not even close to demonology scholarship.
Comics Go To Hell is just a rundown of comic book appearances of the Devil. That’s pop culture history, not theological or historical research.
Hell: A Guide (Answers to All Your Questions about the Devil is written by a Catholic author to explain the Devil from a modern religious perspective. It’s devotional, not critical or academic.
Who in Hell...: A Guide to the Whole Damned Bunch is a tongue-in-cheek reference guide. It doesn’t belong on any list claiming to be about scholarly work.
The Penguin Book of Hell and Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell actually have some substance, but the rest don’t belong on this list at all.
