Pandemoniac

I was taken out of my bed, overpowered with the unnatural heavy sleep, as usual, when the necromancer chooses to give me a pandemoniac lodging, to please his own demoniac fancy.

We believe, too, that this most ungodly garment was actually black; and there its wearer stood, perking his pandemoniac stock in the face of the pious door-keeper, like Satan at the gates of heaven!

In this time of horror the pandemoniac legislature issued decree after decree with terrific rapidity for the destruction of entire towns, the waste of large districts, and the indiscriminate massacre of their inhabitants, of both sexes and all ages; and the decrees were executed to their utmost possible extent.

[…]and never did a conclave of popish pandemoniacs with their own Vulcan seated as and for their president, confronted by his deputy with hammer, tongs, and poker, for his triple trident, meet at any time (except to concoct and perpetrate a deed of blood, more or less direct) to determine upon an affair of more deep and dark importance, than that of the aforesaid junta of “old wives.”

[…]and in his two hands were two wind instruments, which he used alternately for the production of sounds delicious to boys and pandemoniacs.

The fiend is no longer a pandemoniac—never safe unless loaded with chains and guarded by ponderous doors; but simply a harmless, eccentric creature whose permanent, or even temporary, turn of mind makes him, in a measure, ridiculous to that great world whose infinitesimal units, are, of course, entirely sane.

Here, all down the coast, untimely ripped from bed, somnambulist mothers sterilize rubber nipples; tots are potted, junior pandemoniacs are urged to their nice quiet toys; fathers wish they weren't; and house-guests, having checked the child-proof bolts on doors, duck their heads under pillows.

It is my intention to summon forth all manner of banshee, bugaboo and bogybeast. To raise divers demons, dibbuks, ghouls and gorgons. To conjure pigwidgeons and pandemoniacs from those regions which are forever night.
