Commonly said to be written by [[Yakov Dilisnya]], ''Five Visions of Hell'' is a written work describing the [[writer]]'s visions of [[hell]]. A [[lemure]], a [[barbazu]], an [[imp]], and possibly others are all described, but it is unknown how much the specific monsters are recognized by the writer or the readers of the work.<ref>Based upon descriptive text from [[John W. Mangrum]]'s [[Teeny Tiny Tales of Terror]] project (contributed by [[Nathan Okerlund]]), from posts on the [[Cafe de Nuit|Fraternity of Shadows message board]].</ref>

Text extracts as follows:

For the barbazu:<br>
''There is no house among the Dukes of Hell who have not their own guards and sentinels, of whom the great majority are great bearded devils, anthropomorphous, though with a long tail, clawed on both hands and feet; their beards are a great source of pride to such, and a devil of this sort bathes its beard in the ichor of those they have slain in combat to work them into fantastical shapes and great matted tangles; a long beard soaked with the blood of many enemies is a mark of status among them, and to be shaved is their great fear, far more than of death.''

for the imp:<br>
''There are also in that place any number of lesser devils, among whom I saw a great number of bat-winged, scorpion-tailed mannikins of the size of a newborn child, whose employment is to attach themselves as familiar spirits, either to a greater devil or to those who fancy themselves masters of the Arcane Art; these latter they drive to perversions and abominations, tempting them to ever-greater abuses of that power which no wise man takes upon himself.''

For the lemure:<br>
''I saw also the most wretched of creatures, like men degenerated into jellies, mired in the most horrible fear of their masters and loathing of themselves; they covered the floor of Hell like maggots on a rotting corpse for many leagues in all directions. In them I saw the ignominy, the weakness, the stupidity of all evil actions clearly drawn.''<ref>Descriptive text from [[John W. Mangrum]]'s [[Teeny Tiny Tales of Terror]] project (contributed by [[Nathan Okerlund]]), from posts on the [[Cafe de Nuit|Fraternity of Shadows message board]].</ref>
