When this best-selling autobiography was originally released, everyone was shocked: The Long Hard Road Out of Hell was the darkest, funniest, most controversial and best-selling rock book of its time - and it became the template, both visually and narratively, for almost every rock book since. Marilyn Manson is not just a music icon, it turned out, but one of the best storytellers of his generation.

Story
American poet, critic, and short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe is universally recognized for his cultivation of the macabre in fiction. His stories are characterized by an original kind of supernatural horror, often using the awareness of death as a catalyzing force in its own right. His tales and poems brim with psychological depth and intense imagery, made vivid through his musical language and hypnotic rhythms, which are especially captivating when heard aloud.

Publisher's Summary
When Sir Peter Pendragon, a retired pilot of the Great War, meets the free-spirited Louise, a devotee of the mysterious occultist Basil King Lamus, the two immediately get married and set off across Europe, on a drug-fueled honeymoon of heroin and cocaine. Eventually, in an attempt to break free of their recently acquired habit, the newlyweds find their way to the Abbey of Thelema in Italy, where the adults perform invocations to the sun and the children freely recite passages from the Book of the Law. At the guiding hand of King Lamus, the sisters of the Abbey maintain magical diaries, practice strange rituals, and pursue their true will. But what will become of Peter and Lou?

Book and performance are absolutely fantastic!
From the beginning, I was enthralled in this book, and the narrator makes it so much better! With the different voices, and even singing, Shea Taylor does it brilliantly!
The descriptions used in the book, and how they’re worded are also so great! This book taught me things and made me laugh a few times, I’m definitely going to give this another listen at some point!
10/10 definitely recommend!

Insightful occult classic
Given the importance to occult history, a novel by A. Crowley would naturally inspire curiosity. But, does it capture the reader and enable an insight into a historical world?
Most certainly.
I was somewhat reserved in approaching this book as Crowley’s history almost predetermined my expectations.
The listener will discover a true classic that pulls back the curtain of an eon past.
Well worthwhile.
The voice artist that recorded this and the team of editors have done an amazing reading!
