HOLLYWOOD'S HELLFIRE CLUB: The Misadventures of 'The Bundy Drive Boys'

HOLLYWOOD'S HELLFIRE CLUB: The Misadventures of 'The Bundy Drive Boys'

They made fans and censors go crazy, and spent fortunes faster than they made them, some were accused of committing statutory rape on necrophiliac teenage girls, and they swilled immeasurable quantities of booze during week-long parties.

They were 'The Bundy Drive Boys' and they made the 'Rat Pack' look like Cub Scouts. 

Includes remarkable material on: W.C. Fields, Errol Flynn, John Barrymore, John Carradine, Ben Hecht, Gene Fowler, Sadakichi Hartmann, John Decker, Thomas Mitchell, Roland Young, Anthony Quinn, Alan Mowbray etc....

Their self-destructiveness was spectacular, the misanthropy profound, but behind the boozy bravado was a devoted mutual affection. 'The Bundy Drive Boys' story has never been told so well and so completely as within the pages of this book, Hollywood’s Hellfire Club.

MEGATHERION: Magickal World of Aleister Crowley - by Francis King

MEGATHERION: The Magickal World of Aleister Crowley -- By Francis King

Aleister Crowley (1875 –1947) was the synthesizer of what he termed as “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.

In this highly readable account of Crowley’s occult progress, Francis King examines each of the three main sources of Magick – other planes of existence, human will-power and the links between macrocosm and microcosm - this brings new light to Crowley himself and does much to explain the continued respect and admiration for his writings after all these years by such diverse individuals as occultists, artists, writers, musicians, film makers and others. Includes 12 pages of black and white photographs.

CONTENTS: The Magical Decade/ The Golden Dawn/ The Book of the Law/ Towards the Silver Star/ Choronzon/ The Rites of Eleusis/ Book Four/ Western Tantrism/ The Departure and Later Life of Neuburg/ Sexual Wisdom/ America/ Leah Hirsig/ The End of the Abbey/ Wanderings of a Magician/ Twilight of a Master/ A Magical Revival and a Death/ The Aftermath
