Description
The Secret Life Of A Satanist steps behind the curtain with the founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan. What is contemporary Satanism, and why would one start a church dedicated to the Dark One? It wasn't a rebellion against an oppressive religious upbringing; it was Anton Szandor LaVey's disgust with most of humanity. Drawing from Jack London, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marquis de Sade and a host of other reprobates, LaVey formulated a philosophy that resonated with him. Fully revised and show more updated version of the 1990 biography. show lessTags
