Piccadilly Circus was once deemed to be the absolute centre of the British Empire, and it and its immediately surrounding streets with their grand hotels, restaurants, cigar shops, gunsmiths and prostitutes were the favourite stamping ground of the tweed-knickerbocker-clad occultist Aleister Crowley.  But Phil Baker’s thorough researches have also led him to other dimly lit streets that were thronged with Bohemians, charlatans, spongers, drug addicts, spiritualist cranks, would-be femmes fatales, yet more prostitutes and astral phantoms – so many lost souls. The map even extends to such territories as ‘Battersea, supreme word of malignity in the tongue of the pit’ (as Crowley had it). An unflinching light has been shed upon the sinister man-about town Crowley. A brilliant book.</em>\r\n– Robert Irwin\r\n\r\n<em>Fabulous…Baker presents Crowley as a man whose outlook was formed in the decadent 1890s, one who never really adapted to the changing world… ultimately a very human study.\r\n<a href=\"https://greatwen.com/2022/05/23/crowleys-london/\">– Peter Watts</a></em>\r\n\r\n<i>\"Baker is a scrupulous writer... turns the ridiculous into something darker and stranger.\"\r\n</i>Nicholas Lezard, <a href=\"https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/aleister-crowley-was-even-more-beastly-than-we-d-imagined\">The Spectator</a>\r\n\r\n\"An adroit and ingenious gazeteer...\"\r\n<em>Times Literary Supplement</em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/city-of-the-beast/attachment/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7197\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-7197\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"416\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong><i>\"London – dear, vile London!\"</i></strong>\r\n\r\nAleister Crowley, “The Great Beast”, infamous author and occultist, had a love-hate relationship with London, but it was where he spent much of his adult life, and it was the capital of the culture that created him.\r\n\r\n<i>City of the Beast</i> is not a walking guide, although many routes could be pieced together from its pages. It is a biography by sites, revealing a man, an era, and a city. Fusing life-writing with psychogeography, steeped in London’s social history from Victoria to the Blitz, it draws extensively on unpublished material and offers an exceptionally intimate picture of the Beast.\r\n\r\nThrough 93 locations, we follow Crowley searching for prostitutes in Hyde Park and Pimlico, drinking absinthe and eating Chinese food in Soho, and finding himself down on his luck in Paddington Green – but never quite losing sight of the illumination that drove him: “the abiding rapture,” he wrote in his diary, “which makes a ‘bus in the street sound like an angel choir!”\r\n\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s books include <i>Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London’s Lost Artist</i>, <i>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</i>, <i>London: City of Cities</i>, and <i>The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley</i>.

Piccadilly Circus was once deemed to be the absolute centre of the British Empire, and it and its immediately surrounding streets with their grand hotels, restaurants, cigar shops, gunsmiths and prostitutes were the favourite stamping ground of the tweed-knickerbocker-clad occultist Aleister Crowley.  But Phil Baker’s thorough researches have also led him to other dimly lit streets that were thronged with Bohemians, charlatans, spongers, drug addicts, spiritualist cranks, would-be femmes fatales, yet more prostitutes and astral phantoms – so many lost souls. The map even extends to such territories as ‘Battersea, supreme word of malignity in the tongue of the pit’ (as Crowley had it). An unflinching light has been shed upon the sinister man-about town Crowley. A brilliant book.</em>\r\n– Robert Irwin\r\n\r\n<em>Fabulous…Baker presents Crowley as a man whose outlook was formed in the decadent 1890s, one who never really adapted to the changing world… ultimately a very human study.\r\n<a href=\"https://greatwen.com/2022/05/23/crowleys-london/\">– Peter Watts</a></em>\r\n\r\n<i>\"Baker is a scrupulous writer... turns the ridiculous into something darker and stranger.\"\r\n</i>Nicholas Lezard, <a href=\"https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/aleister-crowley-was-even-more-beastly-than-we-d-imagined\">The Spectator</a>\r\n\r\n\"An adroit and ingenious gazeteer...\"\r\n<em>Times Literary Supplement</em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/city-of-the-beast/attachment/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7197\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-7197\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"416\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong><i>\"London – dear, vile London!\"</i></strong>\r\n\r\nAleister Crowley, “The Great Beast”, infamous author and occultist, had a love-hate relationship with London, but it was where he spent much of his adult life, and it was the capital of the culture that created him.\r\n\r\n<i>City of the Beast</i> is not a walking guide, although many routes could be pieced together from its pages. It is a biography by sites, revealing a man, an era, and a city. Fusing life-writing with psychogeography, steeped in London’s social history from Victoria to the Blitz, it draws extensively on unpublished material and offers an exceptionally intimate picture of the Beast.\r\n\r\nThrough 93 locations, we follow Crowley searching for prostitutes in Hyde Park and Pimlico, drinking absinthe and eating Chinese food in Soho, and finding himself down on his luck in Paddington Green – but never quite losing sight of the illumination that drove him: “the abiding rapture,” he wrote in his diary, “which makes a ‘bus in the street sound like an angel choir!”\r\n\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s books include <i>Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London’s Lost Artist</i>, <i>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</i>, <i>London: City of Cities</i>, and <i>The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley</i>.

In 2014 he curated <em>No Seattle: Forgotten Sounds Of The North West Grunge Era </em>with Soul Jazz Records, he wrote the liner notes for the re-release of <em>We Are Urusei Yatsura</em> (2022), and also the oral history of Fire Ants for the reissue of their 1993 EP <em>Stripped</em>.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/everything-keeps-dissolving-conv/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a></strong></p>\r\n&nbsp;','Everything Keeps Dissolving','Coil\'s story told in the present tense, through over 20 years of interviews.','inherit','closed','closed','','7395-revision-v1','','','2022-08-24 10:46:10','2022-08-24 10:46:10','',7395,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7408',0,'revision','',0),(7409,2,'2022-08-25 09:20:32','2022-08-25 09:20:32','<strong><a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/bone-music/attachment/bonemusic/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7359\"><img class=\" wp-image-7359 alignright\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/BoneMusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"482\" height=\"395\" /></a>STEPHEN COATES\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><i>The follow up to the acclaimed </i>X Ray Audio.</strong>\r\n\r\n230mm x 230mm\r\nHB/PB, 156pp\r\n\r\nISBN: 9781907222476\r\n\r\n32 pages of colour images, heavily illustrated throughout\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Projected publication date: Late October 2022.</strong></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Hardback: </strong><strong>£45 Signed, limited edition of 350 copies\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>– Includes an exclusive risograph print and a 7\" flexidisc of original 1930s Soviet-era music taken \"off the bone\" (Hungarian jazz and a Russian ballad). </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paperback: £25</strong>\r\n\r\nInitial orders will also receive a special Bone Music card produced by the author, Stephen Coates - while stocks last:<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/bone-music/attachment/screenshot-2022-08-21-at-20-31-40/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7404\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7404\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Screenshot-2022-08-21-at-20.31.40.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"274\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/bone-music/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/bone-music/attachment/bonemuicspread1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7177\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7177\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Bonemuicspread1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"476\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\"</span>There were two types of culture...<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Official culture and underground culture.

Its eight walks lead you on a series of richly researched yet undeniably chilling tours through Chelsea, Notting Hill, Westminster, Bloomsbury, Covent Garden, and the East End, along the haunted banks of the river Thames, and down into the depths of the London Underground railway.\r\n\r\nEach tour weaves together London\'s stories and takes the reader to magnificent, eerie, and sometimes disconcertingly ordinary corners of the city, unearthing the literature, legends, and history behind classics like <em>Peeping Tom</em> and <em>An American Werewolf in London</em>, and lesser-known works such as mind-control melodrama <em>The Sorcerers</em>; <em>Gorgo</em>, Britain\'s answer to Godzilla; tube terror <em>Death Line</em>; and Bela Lugosi\'s mesmeric vehicle <em>The Dark Eyes of London</em>. Tinged with humor, social critique, and more than a few scares, <em>Death Lines</em> delights in revealing the hidden and often surprising relationship between the city and the dark cinematic visions it has evoked. Whether read on the streets or from the comfort of the grave, <em>Death Lines</em> is a treat for all cinephiles, horror fans, and lovers of London lore.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/death-lines-walking-londons-horr/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a></strong>','Death Lines','The first walking guide to London\'s role in horror cinema','inherit','closed','closed','','7351-revision-v1','','','2022-11-04 15:13:05','2022-11-04 15:13:05','',7351,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7509',0,'revision','',0),(7522,2,'2022-11-25 14:31:14','2022-11-25 14:31:14','<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/city-of-the-beast/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7150\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-7150\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/COB-cover-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"428\" /></a>The London of Aleister Crowley\r\n</strong>by <strong>Phil Baker</strong>\r\nForeword by<strong> Tim D\'Arch Smith\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n133mm x 203mm\r\nHB/PB, 304pp\r\n\r\nISBN: 9781913689322\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/city-of-the-beast/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PB £17.99</strong>\r\n\r\n<del><strong>HB special edition £35: </strong></del>\r\n<del>One of 400 copies, signed by the author, with an exclusive bookmark.

Piccadilly Circus was once deemed to be the absolute centre of the British Empire, and it and its immediately surrounding streets with their grand hotels, restaurants, cigar shops, gunsmiths and prostitutes were the favourite stamping ground of the tweed-knickerbocker-clad occultist Aleister Crowley.  But Phil Baker’s thorough researches have also led him to other dimly lit streets that were thronged with Bohemians, charlatans, spongers, drug addicts, spiritualist cranks, would-be femmes fatales, yet more prostitutes and astral phantoms – so many lost souls. The map even extends to such territories as ‘Battersea, supreme word of malignity in the tongue of the pit’ (as Crowley had it). An unflinching light has been shed upon the sinister man-about town Crowley. A brilliant book.</em>\r\n– Robert Irwin\r\n\r\n<em>Fabulous…Baker presents Crowley as a man whose outlook was formed in the decadent 1890s, one who never really adapted to the changing world… ultimately a very human study.\r\n<a href=\"https://greatwen.com/2022/05/23/crowleys-london/\">– Peter Watts</a></em>\r\n\r\n<i>\"Baker is a scrupulous writer... turns the ridiculous into something darker and stranger.\"\r\n</i>Nicholas Lezard, <a href=\"https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/aleister-crowley-was-even-more-beastly-than-we-d-imagined\">The Spectator</a>\r\n\r\n\"An adroit and ingenious gazeteer...\"\r\n<em>Times Literary Supplement</em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/city-of-the-beast/attachment/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7197\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-7197\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"416\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong><i>\"London – dear, vile London!\"</i></strong>\r\n\r\nAleister Crowley, “The Great Beast”, infamous author and occultist, had a love-hate relationship with London, but it was where he spent much of his adult life, and it was the capital of the culture that created him.\r\n\r\n<i>City of the Beast</i> is not a walking guide, although many routes could be pieced together from its pages. It is a biography by sites, revealing a man, an era, and a city. Fusing life-writing with psychogeography, steeped in London’s social history from Victoria to the Blitz, it draws extensively on unpublished material and offers an exceptionally intimate picture of the Beast.\r\n\r\nThrough 93 locations, we follow Crowley searching for prostitutes in Hyde Park and Pimlico, drinking absinthe and eating Chinese food in Soho, and finding himself down on his luck in Paddington Green – but never quite losing sight of the illumination that drove him: “the abiding rapture,” he wrote in his diary, “which makes a ‘bus in the street sound like an angel choir!”\r\n\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s books include <i>Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London’s Lost Artist</i>, <i>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</i>, <i>London: City of Cities</i>, and <i>The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley</i>.

It is the deconstructed sample, the researched lyrical metaphors, the aha moment on the way to hip-hop enlightenment. Hip-hop permeates our world, and yet it is continually misunderstood. Hip-hop\'s intersections with Afrofuturism and science fiction provide fascinating touchpoints that enable us to see our todays and tomorrows. This book can be, for the curious, a window into a hip-hop-infused Alter Destiny—a journey whose spaceship you embarked on some time ago. Are you engaging this work from the gaze of the future? Are you the data thief sailing into the past to U-turn to the now? Or are you the unborn child prepping to build the next universe? No, you\'re the superhero. Enjoy the journey.”\r\n—from the introduction by Ytasha L. Womack\r\n\r\nThrough essays by some of hip-hop\'s most interesting thinkers, theorists, journalists, writers, emcees, and DJs, <em>Boogie Down Predictions</em> embarks on a quest to understand the connections between time, representation, and identity within hip-hop culture and what that means for the culture at large. Introduced by Ytasha L.

Piccadilly Circus was once deemed to be the absolute centre of the British Empire, and it and its immediately surrounding streets with their grand hotels, restaurants, cigar shops, gunsmiths and prostitutes were the favourite stamping ground of the tweed-knickerbocker-clad occultist Aleister Crowley.  But Phil Baker’s thorough researches have also led him to other dimly lit streets that were thronged with Bohemians, charlatans, spongers, drug addicts, spiritualist cranks, would-be femmes fatales, yet more prostitutes and astral phantoms – so many lost souls. The map even extends to such territories as ‘Battersea, supreme word of malignity in the tongue of the pit’ (as Crowley had it). An unflinching light has been shed upon the sinister man-about town Crowley. A brilliant book.</em>\r\n– Robert Irwin\r\n\r\n<em>Fabulous…Baker presents Crowley as a man whose outlook was formed in the decadent 1890s, one who never really adapted to the changing world… ultimately a very human study.\r\n<a href=\"https://greatwen.com/2022/05/23/crowleys-london/\">– Peter Watts</a></em>\r\n\r\n<i>\"Baker is a scrupulous writer... turns the ridiculous into something darker and stranger.\"\r\n</i>Nicholas Lezard, <a href=\"https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/aleister-crowley-was-even-more-beastly-than-we-d-imagined\">The Spectator</a>\r\n\r\n\"An adroit and ingenious gazeteer...\"\r\n<em>Times Literary Supplement</em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/city-of-the-beast/attachment/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7197\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-7197\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/30fa3557-f34e-4a9f-9a32-18352d8a3c29-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"416\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong><i>\"London – dear, vile London!\"</i></strong>\r\n\r\nAleister Crowley, “The Great Beast”, infamous author and occultist, had a love-hate relationship with London, but it was where he spent much of his adult life, and it was the capital of the culture that created him.\r\n\r\n<i>City of the Beast</i> is not a walking guide, although many routes could be pieced together from its pages. It is a biography by sites, revealing a man, an era, and a city. Fusing life-writing with psychogeography, steeped in London’s social history from Victoria to the Blitz, it draws extensively on unpublished material and offers an exceptionally intimate picture of the Beast.\r\n\r\nThrough 93 locations, we follow Crowley searching for prostitutes in Hyde Park and Pimlico, drinking absinthe and eating Chinese food in Soho, and finding himself down on his luck in Paddington Green – but never quite losing sight of the illumination that drove him: “the abiding rapture,” he wrote in his diary, “which makes a ‘bus in the street sound like an angel choir!”\r\n\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s books include <i>Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London’s Lost Artist</i>, <i>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</i>, <i>London: City of Cities</i>, and <i>The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley</i>.

In the 1961 film <em>The Rebel</em>, another British artist, Anthony Hancock, also sets off for Paris, intending to take his greatest artwork with him. Seventy years may separate the two stories, but very little else.\r\n\r\nFor this sequel to 2020’s <em>Inferno</em>, Ken Hollings turns his attention to Europe at the height of decadence and decay, following the twin fates of Hallward and Hancock as they are drawn, like so many nineteenth-century artists, towards the French capital. It was here that August Strindberg struggled to turn iron and carbon into gold, while esoteric aesthete Sâr Péladan staged his sumptuous Salons de la Rose+Croix.\r\n\r\nIn thirty-three essays modelled on Dante Alighieri’s <em>Purgatorio</em>, personal reflection, historical incidents and unexpected mythological correspondences combine to unearth a restless underground of alchemists, poets, painters, and philosophers.\r\n\r\nTheir influence would shape the future events of May 1968 and presage the emergence of a uniquely European form of Trash cinema devoted exclusively to beauty, sex and despair. Hollings’ radical retelling reveals that, while Hell may be a tough act to follow, <em>Purgatory</em> can be just as weird and far more dangerous.\r\n\r\n+++++\r\n\r\nKen Hollings is a master of connecting the dots between avant-garde art history, outré culture and weird science.\r\n<strong>David Pescowitz</strong> <em>Boing Boing</em>\r\n\r\nKen Hollings has been described as both a genius and an alien. He is the kind of writer who looks up at a million points of light in the sky and starts to connect the dots.\r\n<strong>Toby Amies</strong> <em>BBC Radio 4</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/purgatory-10/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Purgatory','A second volume of personal reflections on Trash and Trash Aesthetics.','inherit','closed','closed','','7470-revision-v1','','','2022-11-02 12:18:47','2022-11-02 12:18:47','',7470,'https://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7505',0,'revision','',0),(7513,2,'2022-11-16 16:49:27','2022-11-16 16:49:27','<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/bone-music/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7359\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-7359\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/BoneMusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"482\" height=\"395\" /></a>STEPHEN COATES\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><i>The follow up to the acclaimed </i>X Ray Audio.</strong>\r\n\r\n230mm x 230mm\r\nHB/PB, 156pp\r\n\r\nISBN: 9781907222476\r\n\r\n32 pages of colour images, heavily illustrated throughout\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Available now!</strong></em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-7495 aligncenter\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/BM-riso-1024x1354.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"522\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>Hardback: </strong><strong>£45 Signed, limited edition of 350 copies\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>– Includes an exclusive risograph print, taken from the book (above) and a 7\" flexidisc of original 1930s Soviet-era music taken \"off the bone\" (Hungarian jazz and a Russian ballad). </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paperback: £25</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/bone-music/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<del>Initial orders will also receive a special Bone Music card produced by the author, Stephen Coates - while stocks last:</del>  (These are now sold out.)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/bone-music/attachment/bonemuicspread1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7177\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7177\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Bonemuicspread1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"476\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\"</span>There were two types of culture...<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Official culture and underground culture.

He is the kind of writer who looks up at a million points of light in the sky and starts to connect the dots.\r\n<strong>Toby Amies</strong> <em>BBC Radio 4</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/purgatory-10/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a></strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Purgatory','A second volume of personal reflections on Trash and Trash Aesthetics.','inherit','closed','closed','','7470-revision-v1','','','2022-09-07 15:40:23','2022-09-07 15:40:23','',7470,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7478',0,'revision','',0),(7481,2,'2022-09-14 13:34:53','2022-09-14 13:34:53','','AustinSpareTarot©TheMagicCircle.SAP.3','','inherit','closed','closed','','austinsparetarotthemagiccircle-sap-3','','','2022-09-14 13:34:53','2022-09-14 13:34:53','',7480,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/AustinSpareTarot©TheMagicCircle.SAP_.3.jpeg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(7482,2,'2022-09-14 13:35:00','2022-09-14 13:35:00','','AustinSpareTarot©TheMagicCircle.JonathanAllen.1','','inherit','closed','closed','','austinsparetarotthemagiccircle-jonathanallen-1','','','2022-09-14 13:35:00','2022-09-14 13:35:00','',7480,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/AustinSpareTarot©TheMagicCircle.JonathanAllen.1.jpeg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(7483,2,'2022-09-14 13:35:59','2022-09-14 13:35:59','','f77cc62f10bcaf579808cfae0378244f_original','','inherit','closed','closed','','f77cc62f10bcaf579808cfae0378244f_original','','','2022-09-14 13:35:59','2022-09-14 13:35:59','',7480,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/f77cc62f10bcaf579808cfae0378244f_original.jpeg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(7484,2,'2022-09-14 13:41:08','2022-09-14 13:41:08','','project-we-love_kickstarter-badge-email-d3f0bc8','','inherit','closed','closed','','project-we-love_kickstarter-badge-email-d3f0bc8','','','2022-09-14 13:41:08','2022-09-14 13:41:08','',7480,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/project-we-love_kickstarter-badge-email-d3f0bc8.gif',0,'attachment','image/gif',0),(7491,2,'2022-09-14 13:51:31','2022-09-14 13:51:31','<img class=\"wp-image-7481 alignnone\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/AustinSpareTarot©TheMagicCircle.SAP_.3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"389\" height=\"389\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Strange Attractor Press are excited to announce our first ever Kickstarter campaign...\r\na unique opportunity to purchase a facsimile edition of the Tarot deck of Austin Osman Spare,alongside a new paperback edition of <em>Lost Envoy: The Tarot Deck of Austin Osman Spare</em> edited by Jonathan Allen, including significant new material!</p>\r\n<img class=\"size-large wp-image-7484 alignnone\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/project-we-love_kickstarter-badge-email-d3f0bc8-1024x576.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The esoteric and art historical significance of Spare\'s lost deck will be known to many of our supporters, and this Kickstarter will provide an opportunity to handle the deck\'s first ever physical reproduction.

The texture of the era is vividly evoked.\r\n</em>SIMON REYNOLDS\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>A sulphurous perfume of debauchery rises from these pages.

Eyes are averted.</em></p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Vermorel examines the files, illuminates the grey areas.

It evokes those classic British black and white films with Dirk Bogarde. But who could play Jean Townsend?\r\n</em>ERIC NEUHOFF, <em>Le Figaro</em>, 08/12/2021</p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<em>A remarkable achievement in every way. Quite something! </em>\r\nANYONY FREWIN\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<em>An inspiring, intriguing and brilliant book.</em>\r\nCATHI UNSWORTH\r\n\r\n<em>A great read, a great investigation and fascinating recreation of an interesting period. And he may have just solved the mystery of the Jack the Stripper murders.</em> Stephen Dorril\r\n\r\n<em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">A </span>riveting true-crime tale that unfolds in layers, a palimpsest of high and low London lives...this beautifully designed volume is both a page-turning thriller and an unforgettable sociological snapshot of louche London in the 1950s. </em>Victoria Nelson\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\nIn 1954, Jean Mary Townsend was strangled with her own scarf and stripped of her underwear.The subsequent police investigation was bungled, leading to a six-decade cover-up, ensuring that this twenty-one-year-old fashion designer was effectively killed twice: first bodily, and then as her significance and her memory were erased. Fred Vermorel’s forensic, troubling (and trouble-making) investigation digs deep into Jean Townsend’s life and times, and her transgressive bohemian milieu. It disentangles the lies and bluffs that have obscured this puzzling case for over half a century and offers a compelling solution to her murder and the official secrecy surrounding it.\r\n\r\nMore than just a true crime story, Vermorel’s account deploys Townsend’s death as a wild card methodology for probing the 1950s: a cesspit of vice and violence, from coprophiles to bombsite gangs and flick knives in cinemas. Densely illustrated with archival material, Dead Fashion Girl is a heavily researched, darkly curious exposé of London’s 1950s society that touches on celebrity, royalty, the post-war establishment, and ultimately, tragedy.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\"><b>About the Author\r\n</b></span></span>\r\n\r\nFred Vermorel is a pioneer of the in-depth study of celebrity and fan cultures, best known for his controversial “antibiographies” of pop icons including the Sex Pistols, Kate Bush, Vivienne Westwood, and Kate Moss.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Dead Fashion Girl','A Situationist Detective Story ','inherit','closed','closed','','6354-revision-v1','','','2023-02-14 13:24:29','2023-02-14 13:24:29','',6354,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7559',0,'revision','',0),(7579,2,'2023-04-05 15:41:22','2023-04-05 15:41:22','<h2><em><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/flowers-of-perversion/\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-6183 size-full\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/FOPcoverwebsmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"420\" /></a>The Delirious Cinema of Jesús Franco, Volume Two\r\n</em>\r\nBy Stephen Thrower</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>HB 512pp\r\n240mm x 269mm\r\n£45.00 <del>/ £65</del>\r\n520 images, full colour throughout </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>ISBN: 9781907222603</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Available in Standard and <del>Collectors\' Editions. <i>The Collectors\' Edition </i>of 500 copies is signed and numbered by Stephen Thrower and features specially designed boards, a different dust jacket image, a set of colour postcards, and...</del></p>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-6212\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Jesscase.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"507\" height=\"380\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>The Sinister Case of Dr. Franco</em></strong>\r\nA 100 page, hardbound book, featuring a facsimile of items left behind at Hotel Quetzal in Southern France during the shooting of <em>Mandinga </em>in 1975.

His sexually charged, fearlessly personal style of filmmaking has never been in vogue with mainstream critics, but for lovers of the strange and sado-erotic he is a magician, spinning his unique and disturbing dream worlds from the cheapest of budgets.\r\n\r\nStephen Thrower has devoted many years to examining each and every known Franco film, second only to the maestro himself. This book—the second in a two-volume set—delves into the latter half of Franco\'s career, covering films that have never received critical appraisal before, as well as exclusive interviews with Franco collaborators including Antonio Mayans, Juan Soler, Katja Bienert and Monica Swinn.\r\n\r\nIn the world of Jess Franco freedom was the key, and he pushed at the boundaries of taste and censorship repeatedly, throughout an astonishingly varied career spanning sixty years. The director of more than 180 films, at his most prolific he worked in a supercharged frenzy that yielded as many as twelve titles per year, making him one of the most generative auteurs of all time.\r\n\r\nFranco\'s taste for the sexy and horrific, his lifelong obsession with the Marquis De Sade, and his roving hand-held camera style launched a whole new strain of erotic cinema. Disturbing, exciting, and defiantly avant-garde, films such as <em>Shining Sex</em>, <em>Barbed Wire Dolls</em>, <em>Ilsa The Wicked Warden </em>and<em> Bloody Moon</em> are among the jewels of European horror, while a plethora of multiple versions, re-edits and echoes of earlier works turn the Franco experience into a dizzying hall of mirrors, further entrancing the viewer who dares enter Franco\'s domain.\r\n\r\nThrower shines a light into the darkest corners of the Franco filmography and uncovers previously unknown and unsuspected facts about their casts, crews, and production histories.\r\n\r\nUnparalleled in scope and ambition, <i>Flowers of Perversion </i>brings Jess Franco\'s career into focus with a landmark study that aims to provide the definitive assessment of his labyrinthine film universe.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/flowers-of-perversion/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ORDER

Unparalleled in scope and ambition, this revised and updated edition of <em>Murderous Passions</em> contains eighty more pages of images, many in colour, and a thorough index.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<em>Stephen Thrower is the acclaimed author of </em>Flowers of Perverison<em>, </em>Beyond Terror: the films of Lucio Fulci <em>and the ground-breaking </em>Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents<em>.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/murderous-passions-revised-editi/\">Pre-order here</a></strong>','Murderous Passions pre-order','The Delirious Cinema of Jesús Franco\r\n512PP, HB full colour.

With music that could be dark, queer, and difficult, but often retained a warped pop sensibility, Coil\'s albums were multifaceted repositories of esoteric knowledge, lysergic wisdom and acerbic humor. In <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving</em>, core members John Balance and Peter Christopherson tell Coil\'s story in the present tense, and from their personal perspectives.\r\n\r\nAccompanied by their various collaborators, Coil describe the fertile eruption of ideas, inspirations, and stray tangents that informed their lyrical and musical visions—as well as those dead paths and castoff concepts that didn\'t take root. Not only a worm\'s eye view of Coil, these interviews provide insight into the late twentieth century\'s evolving British cultural underground as channeled through two of its most astutely mercurial minds.\r\n\r\nA milestone in Coil\'s evolving posthumous history, <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving</em> contains a number of previously unseen drawings, photographs and other images by, and of, the band.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the editor:\r\n</strong>Nick Soulsby is the author of <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving: Conversations With Coil</em> (Winter 2022), <em>Lydia Lunch: The War Is Never Over</em> (2019), <em>Swans: Sacrifice And Transcendence </em>(2018), <em>Thurston Moore: We Sing A New Language </em>(2017), <em>Cobain On Cobain: Interviews &amp; Encounters</em> (2016), <em>I Found My Friends: The Oral History Of Nirvana</em> (2015), and <em>Dark Slivers: Seeing Nirvana In The Shards Of Incesticide</em> (2012). His words feature in an upcoming book on artist Marc Hurtado and <em>The Abrahadabra Letters</em> by John Balance/Anthony Blokdijk. In 2014 he curated <em>No Seattle: Forgotten Sounds Of The North West Grunge Era </em>with Soul Jazz Records, he wrote the liner notes for the re-release of <em>We Are Urusei Yatsura</em> (2022), and also the oral history of Fire Ants for the reissue of their 1993 EP <em>Stripped</em>.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/everything-keeps-dissolving-conv/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong></p>\r\n&nbsp;','Everything Keeps Dissolving','Coil\'s story told in the present tense, through over 20 years of interviews.','inherit','closed','closed','','7395-revision-v1','','','2023-02-23 17:52:32','2023-02-23 17:52:32','',7395,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7566',0,'revision','',0),(7570,2,'2023-03-30 12:30:43','2023-03-30 12:30:43','<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/englands-hidden-reverse-1/\"><img class=\" wp-image-5231 alignright\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/EHRMT_web.jpg\" alt=\"EHRMT_web\" width=\"241\" height=\"342\" /></a><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">A Secret History of the Esoteric Underground</span>\r\n</strong><em>David Keenan\r\nRevised &amp;

Written over a period of six years and first published in 2003, the book flits between John Balance and Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson of Coil’s original Threshold House in Chiswick and the old boys’ school they later moved to in Weston-super-Mare to Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound’s goat farm and visionary art environment in Cooloorta in Southern Ireland to the roof of a house in Muswell Hill where David Tibet of Current 93 receives a vision of Noddy crucified in the sky. From there it moves further back and faster; to eye witness accounts of early Whitehouse performances; to the formation of Throbbing Gristle and the birth of industrial music; to the last moments of the visionary painter Charles Sims; to Angus MacLise, ex-of the Velvet Underground, casting his poem Year as a work of elementary magic; to Shirley Collins, AE Housman and Denton Welch’s visions of England in eternity.\r\n<br class=\"\" />Long out of print and with the first edition demanding serious money from collectors, this much-anticipated expanded edition comes completely redesigned, with many new and previously unseen photographs and ephemera. It also comes with two new chapters, a final summing up of how the Reverse has changed gear since the book was first published and a new Chapter Zero entitled <em>Crime Calls For Night</em> where Keenan presents a daring argument that traces the transgressive urge that animates industrial culture all the way from Palaeolithic cave art through rock n roll and punk rock and up to contemporary noise music.\r\n<br class=\"\" /><strong>About the Author</strong>\r\nDavid Keenan is an author and critic based in Glasgow Scotland.

Its eight walks lead you on a series of richly researched yet undeniably chilling tours through Chelsea, Notting Hill, Westminster, Bloomsbury, Covent Garden, and the East End, along the haunted banks of the river Thames, and down into the depths of the London Underground railway.\r\n\r\nEach tour weaves together London\'s stories and takes the reader to magnificent, eerie, and sometimes disconcertingly ordinary corners of the city, unearthing the literature, legends, and history behind classics like <em>Peeping Tom</em> and <em>An American Werewolf in London</em>, and lesser-known works such as mind-control melodrama <em>The Sorcerers</em>; <em>Gorgo</em>, Britain\'s answer to Godzilla; tube terror <em>Death Line</em>; and Bela Lugosi\'s mesmeric vehicle <em>The Dark Eyes of London</em>. Tinged with humor, social critique, and more than a few scares, <em>Death Lines</em> delights in revealing the hidden and often surprising relationship between the city and the dark cinematic visions it has evoked. Whether read on the streets or from the comfort of the grave, <em>Death Lines</em> is a treat for all cinephiles, horror fans, and lovers of London lore.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/death-lines-walking-londons-horr/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong>','Death Lines','The first walking guide to London\'s role in horror cinema','inherit','closed','closed','','7351-revision-v1','','','2023-04-17 09:45:01','2023-04-17 09:45:01','',7351,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7592',0,'revision','',0),(7594,2,'2023-04-27 15:23:31','2023-04-27 15:23:31','<h2><strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/catastrophe-time/\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7597\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Catastrophe-Time-Cover-For-Web-300x447.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"447\" /></a>Edited by\r\nGary Zhexi Zhang</strong></h2>\r\n<strong>£17.99</strong>\r\n\r\nPaperback with flaps\r\n129mm x 198mm\r\n264pp black and white\r\n16pp colour section\r\nISBN: 9781913689674\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/catastrophe-time/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong>\r\n\r\nA collection of essays, fictions, and interviews exploring the weird temporalities of finance and catastrophe.\r\n\r\nOnce, financial practitioners plied a hybrid trade as hydrologists, star-gazers, and weather-watchers who sought to discover the natural laws of value and exchange as they did the divine order of an unchanging nature. Today, corporate firms hire trend forecasters and scenario planners to play out strategic fictions in virtual worlds. Hurricane insurance markets simulate a turbulent climate to offer investment instruments to hedge against the risks of the stock market. And for financial astrologers operating in the city of London, celestial motions provide a cosmic map that orients the mood of terrestrial markets.\r\n\r\nBringing together artists, researchers, and interstitial practitioners, <em>Catastrophe Time!</em> pays attention to the conditions of speculative knowledge on an increasingly volatile planet. Traversing a gray zone between rigorous research and operative science fictions, its contributors question how practices of speculation may transform, undermine, and at times exceed, the worlds they set out to model.\r\n\r\nEdited by artist Gary Zhexi Zhang, <em>Catastrophe Time!</em> explores the power of temporal technologies—whether currencies, conspiracies, or simulation models—to shape reality through fiction. By bringing together researchers and writers working at the boundaries of temporal practices, including Diann Bauer, Philip Grant, Bahar Noorizadeh, Habib William Kherbek, Klara Kofen, Kei Kreutler, Suhail Malik, Bassem Saad and Gordon Woo, this urgent volume seeks to make sense of the unraveling times in which we live.\r\n\r\n<strong><a

UK’s esoteric underground, <i>England’s Hidden Reverse, </i>which now includes a selection of interviews and reflections that initially appeared in the bonus zine, <em>Furfur</em>, which came with the special edition published in 2016.\r\n\r\nBased on hundreds of hours of interviews with members of Coil, Nurse With Wound and Current 93 as well as contemporaries, friends and associates, <em>EHR</em> illuminates a shadowy English underground scene whose work accented peculiarities of Englishness through the links and affinities they forged with earlier generations of the island’s marginals and outsiders, such as playwright Joe Orton, writers like death decadent Eric, Count Stenbock, ecstatic mystic novelist Arthur Machen and occult figures like Austin Osman Spare and Aleister Crowley.\r\n\r\nWhile functioning as an obsessively researched biography of the three interrelated groups <em>EHR</em> also works to track the trajectory of their influences, explicating a reverse current that runs counter to the mainstream.\r\n\r\nWritten over a period of six years and first published in 2003, the book flits between John Balance and Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson of Coil’s original Threshold House in Chiswick and the old boys’ school they later moved to in Weston-super-Mare to Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound’s goat farm and visionary art environment in Cooloorta in Southern Ireland to the roof of a house in Muswell Hill where David Tibet of Current 93 receives a vision of Noddy crucified in the sky. From there it moves further back and faster; to eye witness accounts of early Whitehouse performances; to the formation of Throbbing Gristle and the birth of industrial music; to the last moments of the visionary painter Charles Sims; to Angus MacLise, ex-of the Velvet Underground, casting his poem Year as a work of elementary magic; to Shirley Collins, AE Housman and Denton Welch’s visions of England in eternity.\r\n\r\n<br class=\"\" /><strong>About the Author</strong>\r\nDavid Keenan is the multi-award-winning author of six critically-acclaimed novels: the cult classic, <i>This is Memorial Device</i>, which won the London Magazine Prize for debut fiction, <i>For the Good Time</i>s, which won the Gordon Burn Prize and was shortlisted for the Encore award, <i>Xstabeth</i>, which was longlisted for the Dublin Literary Prize, <i>The Towers The Fields The Transmitters</i>, the monolithic 10-years-in-the-making psychedelic modernist masterwork <i>Monument Maker</i>, and most recently, <i>Industry of Magic &amp; Light</i>, a prequel to his debut novel of which the Scotsman said “Keenan has written another classic”.

interviews and reflections that initially appeared in the bonus zine, <em>Furfur</em>, which came with the special edition published in 2016.\r\n\r\nBased on hundreds of hours of interviews with members of Coil, Nurse With Wound and Current 93 as well as contemporaries, friends and associates, <em>EHR</em> illuminates a shadowy English underground scene whose work accented peculiarities of Englishness through the links and affinities they forged with earlier generations of the island’s marginals and outsiders, such as playwright Joe Orton, writers like death decadent Eric, Count Stenbock, ecstatic mystic novelist Arthur Machen and occult figures like Austin Osman Spare and Aleister Crowley.\r\n\r\nWhile functioning as an obsessively researched biography of the three interrelated groups <em>EHR</em> also works to track the trajectory of their influences, explicating a reverse current that runs counter to the mainstream.\r\n\r\nWritten over a period of six years and first published in 2003, the book flits between John Balance and Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson of Coil’s original Threshold House in Chiswick and the old boys’ school they later moved to in Weston-super-Mare to Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound’s goat farm and visionary art environment in Cooloorta in Southern Ireland to the roof of a house in Muswell Hill where David Tibet of Current 93 receives a vision of Noddy crucified in the sky. From there it moves further back and faster; to eye witness accounts of early Whitehouse performances; to the formation of Throbbing Gristle and the birth of industrial music; to the last moments of the visionary painter Charles Sims; to Angus MacLise, ex-of the Velvet Underground, casting his poem Year as a work of elementary magic; to Shirley Collins, AE Housman and Denton Welch’s visions of England in eternity.\r\n\r\n<br class=\"\" /><strong>About the Author</strong>\r\nDavid Keenan is the multi-award-winning author of six critically-acclaimed novels: the cult classic, <i>This is Memorial Device</i>, which won the London Magazine Prize for debut fiction, <i>For the Good Time</i>s, which won the Gordon Burn Prize and was shortlisted for the Encore award, <i>Xstabeth</i>, which was longlisted for the Dublin Literary Prize, <i>The Towers The Fields The Transmitters</i>, the monolithic 10-years-in-the-making psychedelic modernist masterwork <i>Monument Maker</i>, and most recently, <i>Industry of Magic &amp; Light</i>, a prequel to his debut novel of which the Scotsman said “Keenan has written another classic”.

Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality.\n\nToday Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologised since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare’s art, mind and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists and monstrous owls.\n\nThis richly readable and illuminating biography takes us deep into the strange inner world that this most enigmatic of artists inhabited, shedding new light while allowing just a few shadowy corners to flourish unspoiled.\n\n<strong>About the author</strong>\n\nPhil Baker’s books include <i>City of The Beast: The London of Aleister Crowley</i>, <i>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</i>, <i>London: City of Cities</i>, and <i>The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley</i>.  He lives in London.\n\n<strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #000000; line-height: 1.5; font-weight: bold;\">Reviews</strong>\n\n\"[told with] zest and insight...

Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality.\r\n\r\nToday Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologised since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare’s art, mind and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists and monstrous owls.\r\n\r\nThis richly readable and illuminating biography takes us deep into the strange inner world that this most enigmatic of artists inhabited, shedding new light while allowing just a few shadowy corners to flourish unspoiled.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the author</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s books include <i>City of The Beast: The London of Aleister Crowley</i>, <i>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</i>, <i>London: City of Cities</i>, and <i>The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley</i>.  He lives in London.\r\n\r\n<strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #000000; line-height: 1.5; font-weight: bold;\">Reviews</strong>\r\n\r\n\"[told with] zest and insight...
