These essays show LaVey at his most aphoristic and mischievous, a man equally at home among pipe organs, girlie shows, monster movies, forgotten architecture, and the private tyrannies of “normal” people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is LaVey’s notebook in the proper sense: observations, provocations, schemes, insults, and bright little blasphemies arranged by a mind that regarded taste as a weapon and personality as an art form. Adam Parfrey’s introduction places the book in its fitting company: among the literate degenerates, forbidden pamphleteers, sideshow philosophers, and anti-humanist humorists who knew that civilization is mostly bad theater performed by people with no stage presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feral House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52386818621723,"sku":"9780922915118","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/files\/images.jpg?v=1782150980","url":"https:\/\/underworldamusements.com\/products\/the-devils-notebook","provider":"Underworld Amusements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
