New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Paperback First Thus Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) has been seen variously as a man of notorious sexual habits, a satanic occultist, and latterly an icon of the 1960s love generation. But Crowley was neither a mere sexual predator nor a vulgar black magician. He was the synthesizer of what he termed Magick, a system of occult philosophy and technique outlined in such classic texts as The Book Of The Law and Magick In Theory And Practice. Crowley's vision combined clarity, intellectual power and a strange, sometimes frightening, beauty. In this cogent and intensely readable account of Crowley's occult progress, Francis King examines each of the three main sources of Magick thus throwing much new light on Crowley himself, and doing much to explain the continuing admiration for his writings which has been displayed by individuals as diverse as occultists, film directors from Kenneth Anger to Donald Cammell, and rock musicians such as Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Illustrated with 12 pages of photographs.

Attractive, middle-aged divorcee Ruth St. Just is convinced that her adored only son James, who has died mysteriously on the island of Ellampore off the coast of West Africa, was actually murdered, possibly by members of a small cult gathered around a charismatic woman known as Mother. Having exhausted her efforts to get more information from the Foreign Office in London, and to interest the press in the case, Ruth journeys to Ellampore. The reader shares her anxiety, the impact of this African backwater on her already taut emotions, her suspicions of Mother when at last the women meet. The book could move in any direction at this point, but King has something more in mind than solving a conventional mystery; and his novel takes several dark and unsettling turns before a shocking ending that suddenly makes the reader reexamine everything that has gone before. A thoroughly gripping performance.'' -- Publisher's Weekly
