THE BLOODY COUNTESS: Atrocities of Erzsebet Bathory: By Valentine Penrose / Translation by Alexander Trocchi

THE BLOODY COUNTESS: Atrocities of Erzsebet Bathory
By Valentine Penrose - Translated by Alexander Trocchi

Descended from an ancient aristocratic European family, Erzsebet Bathory bore all the psychotic characteristics of centuries of inner family breeding. From early adolescence she indulged in sadistic lesbian fantasies - where only the spilling of others female blood could satisfy her urges.

By middle age, she had regressed into a mirror fixated state and was practicing necro-sadism, torture, cannibalism, vampirism, wholesale slaughter, blood bathing and witchcraft. These years, in the late 16th century, would witness a reign of cruelty unsurpassed in the history of mass murder, with over 600 deaths alone attributed to the 'Bloody Countess'.

Her many castles were all equipped with torture chambers where she would torture and mutilate her victims - virtual killing factories where hundreds of girls were killed and processed - the Countess would bath in their virgin blood - believing it would preserve her youth and beauty.

THE SEVEN ADDICTIONS AND FIVE PROFESSIONS OF ANITA BERBER: Weimar Berlin's Preistess of Depravity

THE SEVEN ADDICTIONS AND FIVE PROFESSIONS OF ANITA BERBER: Weimar Berlin's Preistess of Depravity - By Mel Gordon


The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber is the first contemporary biography of the notorious actress/ dancer/ poet and playwright who scandalized sex-obsessed Weimar Berlin during the 1920s.

Even in an era where everything was permitted, Anita Berber’s celebrations of “Depravity, Horror and Ecstasy” were condemned and censored as too extreme. She often haunted Weimar Berlin’s hotel lobbies, nightclubs, and casinos, radiantly naked except for an elegant sable wrap, a pet monkey and a silver brooch packed with cocaine both hanging from her neck.

Multi-talented Anita saw no boundaries between her personal life and her taboo-shattering performances. She was one of Europe’s first postmodern women. After Berlin finally tired of Anita Berber’s outrageous antics, she became a “carrion soul that even the hyenas ignored,” dying in 1928 at the early age of only twenty-nine.
Classic Femme Fatale....

• Includes nearly two hundred photographs and illustrations, including some from Berber’s salacious and enduring performance “Repertoire of the Damned.”

• Berber loved Marlene Dietrich and was influenced and associated with Leni Riefenstahl, Lawrence Durrell, Klaus Mann, and the founder of modern sexology, Magnus Hirschfeld.

• An early movie star, Berber acted in Fritz Lang’s Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler and the silent epic Lucifer.

DARK STAR: The Satanic Rites of Gilles de Rais - by Various Authors



DARK STAR: The Satanic Rites of Gilles de Rais - by Various Authors

The spectre of Gilles de Rais the satanist child-killer, eclipses French history like a 'dark star'. A fallen general, once the champion of Joan of Arc, whose experimentations in cruelty led him through the very Gates of Hell.

His obscene crimes and decadent aristocratic glamour have created an enduring legend of mythic proportions. This collection of essays, quotations, excerpts and fiction from some of the most famous authors in recent centuries evoke a chilling portrait of one of the most sinister figures in the annals of European history and mass murder.

After Joan of Arc was captured, Gilles de Rais fled to the safety of his castles in France where he began a steady spiral downwards - one of his first murders was committed in the presence of the sadistic sorcerer Prelati - in Prelati's chambers in the castle - Gilles seized a young boy and slashed his throat - from that moment on he had found his one true passion in life - the torture and murder of children - and where ever he went, children would disappear, never to be seen again - the final number of his victims will never be known but some say it could be as high as 800 deaths....

Authors Include:

Georges Bataille
Blaise Cendrars
J.K. Huysmans
Valentine Penrose
Jean Genet
Marquis de Sade
Andre Breton
Arthur Rimbaud
Gustave Flaubert
Richard Thoma
James Havoc
Charles Perrault

and many others.....
