Review Quotes:
"...Bedeviled provides a rich, engaging work that illuminates the diversity of thought and practices surrounding jinn within and beyond Akbarian Sufism in the medieval Islamicate world." -- Journal of the Muhyiddin Ibn ʿArabi Society
"Rasic's study of jinn doppelgangers is a wonderful contribution to specialists in Islamic studies, who now have a comprehensive account of this matter and the discussions around it at hand. At the same time, the book can also be of great interest to a wider audience who, through its clear prose and detailed explanations, can approach the richness of Islamic cosmology and the complexity of Sufi theologies without much background knowledge." -- Nidān
"This is the first solid treatment in English of Jinn in Akbarian Sufism, which is the least studied aspect of Ibn ʿArabī's teachings. Rasic has a firm grasp of Ibn ʿArabī and articulates his recondite teachings in clear and simple language without compromising the nuances of his ideas." -- Mukhtar H. Ali, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign
