I came to this text from the perhaps idiosyncratic position of a Ghost band fanfic writer wanting to make her Satanic librarian OC as convincing as possible, but by the end, I discovered an interest in the subject matter extending beyond my creative writing endeavors, and multiple directions for further reading. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to read a chronology of Satanic thought, written with much-appreciated academic rigor and a levelheadedness that avoids sensationalism without sacrificing engagement with the material.
