Product Description

Synopsis
Many people consider Anton LaVey the most dangerous man on earth. Others simply dismiss him as an entertaining chariatan. What secrets lurk within the man who shaved his head on Walpurgisnacht, 1966, and declared the foundation of the Church of Satan? Written with the cooperation of her engimatic subject, Blanche Barton's biography reveal what has previously been hidden from public view: * LaVey's erotic involvements with Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. * The dark origins of Satanic ritual. * LaVey's early career as hoodlum, carny, burlesque house organist, Zionist operative, lion tamer, and ghost hunter for the San Francisco police department. * Rare photographs and documents, including LaVey's 'banned essay' on lycanthropic transformation. THE SECRET LIFE OF A SATANIST is a brilliant account of the development of a philosophy unlike any other, from the perspective of a misanthropic genius. An amazing man, an amazing life, and an incredible tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read with tongue in cheek!!, 3 Oct 1999
By A Customer
Being a fan of LaVey's writings, I found this biography great fun to read. He was obviously an intelligent and learned man, but never forget, dear readers, he was a carny hand years before he founded the Church Of Satan. As long as you realise that his Satanism was really just satire of religious hypocrites and a bit of titilation thrown in for fun, you'll get a lot from this book! Just don't beleive a word of it!
