*************************end SRA bibliography

(Satan in Literature)
     _Paradise Lost_ by John Milton.
          An epic poem telling the tale of Lucifer from when he is thrown
          out of heaven, to the Fall of Adam and Eve. It makes Lucifer
          into a heroic figure, whilst God is made out to be a little vague
          and weak.

     _Letters to the Earth_ by Mark Twain
          Humerous letters from Satan as fallen angel to all his friends
          remaining in Paradise.

     _The Mysterious Stranger_ by Mark Twain
          Allegorical tale about Satan; Twains darkest tale.

     _The Divine Comedy_ by Dante.
          Another epic poem in three parts (Inferno, Purgatorio and
          Paradisio) covering the author's pilgrimage through them.

     _La-Bas (Down There)_ by J. K. Huysmans (1891?) translated by
     Keene Wallace.
          Semi-fictional novel of the occult and the black mass in late
          nineteenth century Paris.

     H. P. Lovecraft, collected works.
          Classic horror fiction that has served as inspiration for many
          Satanists.
	  
     _Candide_ by Voltaire
          Witty sarcasm from on of the spiritual fathers of Modern Satanism.
	  
     Gabriele D'Annunzio, Child of Pleasure, various works.
          One of the greatest Italian writers of all time, D'Annunzio was
          a living archetype of the Nietzschean "Ubermensch." His various
          biographies are must reading.

     _Maldoror_ by Compte De Lautreamont/Isadore Ducasse
          The story of the most evil man in the world, written in a
          surreal, epic poetical style. Force yourself to read it; you'll
          be glad for the experience later.
          Some prefer the Guy Werham translation to the more readable
          Penguin Books translation. I loathe the Werham translation,
          am indifferent to the Penguin Books/Paul Knight translation,
          and like the out of print translation by Alexis Lykiard best
          of all.

     _Une Saison en Enfer/A Season in Hell_ by Arthur Rimbaud
          Poetic plumbing of the depths of despair; dark Satanic imagery
          abounds.

     _Les Fleurs Du Mal/The Flowers of Evil_ by Charles Baudilaire
          French poetry containing the famous Litanies of Satan and
          others in a similar vein.

     _The Sun at Night_ by Roger Williamson
          Modern psuedo-allegorical novel about experiences with a
          Luciferian "Order of the Morning Star."

(Satanic Music)

     _The Art of Noises_ by Luigi Russolo
          The original manifesto of "industrial music," and still the
          best theoretical document on experimental music. Written in the
          early part of the century; it was, and is far ahead of its time.
          http://hamp.hamshire.edu/~cmnF93/pratella.txt contains another
          manifesto of Futurist music.

     _Sensations of Tone As a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music_
     by Hermann Helmholtz
          The classic book of its type; somewhat dated (1877) -there may be
          more modern books which accomplish the same thing, but this
          one contains many valuable insights.

     _Science and Music_ by Sir James Jeans
          A more recent book, similar to the above in content.

(Science for the Satanic Citizen)

     _Build Your Own Laser, Phaser, Ion Ray Gun & Other Working Space-Age
      Projects_ by Robert E. Iannini
          Homebrewed high tech, including high voltage designs, tasers,
          stun guns, and surveilance equipment. Includes many of the plans
          supplied by Information Unlimited.

     _The Tesla Coil Builder's Guide to The Colorado Springs Notes of
      Nikola Tesla_ by Richard L Hull and the Tesla Coil Builders of
      Richmond Virginia
          Best advanced guide for building the Tesla Coil, and Teslas
          Magnifying Transmitter. Lots of practical advice and (the primary
          focus of the book) history of the development of Teslas high
          voltage, high frequency resonators.

     2600 Magazine, Phrack, LOD Technical Journals
          Hacker magazines help you protect yourself from criminal
          invasions of privacy. Phrack & LOD available online.

(Satanic Philosophy)

     Frederick Nietzsche, various works
          Nietzschean philosophies form the core of Satanism. Much of the
          _Satanic Bible_ owes its  philosophical and literary roots to works
          such as _Thus Spoke Zarastrutha_  and  _The Anti-Christ_ by
          Nietzsche.

     _Man and Technics_ by Oswald Spengler
          An extension of Nietzsches philosophy to the modern age; Spenglers
          philosophy is condensed into this small book; a must read. (Study
          of the voluminous _The Decline of Western Civilization_ may prove
          useful to those interested in theories of history and politics)

     _The Virtue of Selfishness_ by Ayn Rand
          Rand is influential in CoS writings; this work and others may
          be of use to those interested in CoS philosophy.

     _The Prince_ by Niccolo Machiavelli
          Classic philosophical and practical treatise on the politics
          of power. http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~pgrose/mach/index1.htm

     _A Book of Five Rings_ Musashi Miyamoto Sensei
          The way of strategy as written by possibly the greatest swordsman
	  of all time. This book provides excellent strategic advice for 
	  mass warfare, single combat or any analagous activity (such as
	  business planning. http://www.samurai.com/5rings/ or
	  http://www.dstc.edu.au/DDU/staff/ralf/lit/Rings.html

     _The Art of War_ Sun Tsu
          Chinese equivalent to _The Prince_.
	  http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/thigpen/html/art_of_war.html

     Marquis de Sade (various works)
          Philosophical and pornographic fiction, illustrating the sexual
          dynamics of power (and the power dynamics of sex).

     _Why I am Not a Christian_ by Bertrand Russel
          Famous atheistic philosopher explains myriad reasons why he
          isn't a christian.

     _Madness and Civilization_ Michel Foucault
          Tedious, academic stuff, but filled with various interesting
          (sometimes horrifying) observations about the funny farm we
          all live in. Particularly unpleasant reading for members of
          certain "groups." Foucault could be considered a de facto
          Satanist of sorts (though of a decidedly left-wing bent).

      _The Redneck Manifesto_ Jim Goad
          Scathing criticism of the Great American Dirty Secret: Classism;
	  done with typical Jim Goad wit and rage. Sure to be a controversial
	  classic.
      _Will_ by G. Gordon Liddy	  
          Satanic Saint G. Gordon Liddy tells his inspiring story.

(weird stuff of interest to the Satanist)

     _Cosmic Trigger_ by Robert A. Wilson
          This book describes various initiations and occult phenomena
          experienced by Mr. Wilson. Good for promoting open-mindedness.
          Wilson writes some great fiction as well in his "Illuminatus"
          books.

     _Apocalypse Culture_ collected by Adam Parfey.
          A shocking work, depicting the worldviews of various "fringe"
          sects and individuals, ranging from necrophiliacs to ultra-right
          wing Christians. Has an article by LaVey.

     _Cult Rapture_ by Adam Parfrey.
          Parfrey's sobering perspectives on apocalyptic politics are only
          a fraction of his new volume. Racist murderers, anti-porn
          feminism, mail-order brides, freaks, sex cults of the physically
          deformed, suicide cults and fandom are also grist for his
          flavorful mill.

     _The Futurist Cookbook_ by F.T. Marinetti
          Uproariously funny book by that master poet of 1920s Futurism
          F.T. Marinetti. Note; Futurism could be considered akin to
          Satanism in many ways; a net-search on the topic will turn up
          more information.

     _The Torture Garden_ by Octave Mirbeau, ReSearch 1989 reprint
          A seeminly innocent Englishwoman and debouched Frenchman wander
          through a beautiful garden in China dedicated to Torture as an
          art form. Described as the "most sickening work of art of the
          nineteenth century."

     _Une Semaine de Bonte_ by Max Ernst, Dover 1976 reprint
          Surrealistic novel in collage; many fascinating images.

     _TAZ (Temporary Autonomous Zone)_ by Hakim Bey, Autonomedia 1991
          Generally considered the manifesto of the emerging anarchic
          cyber-culture. A manual for freedom in the coming (or present,
          depending on who you talk to) dark age of Airstrip one. Described
          by RA Wilson as "A Blake Angel on Bad Acid." Exists online in
          a number of places. http://www.unicorn.com//lib/taz.html

     _Might is Right_  by Ragnar Redbeard 
          Part of the _Satanic Bible_ taken from this, the full work is
          occasionally uproarious fun, occasionally offensive to "modern"
          sensibilities.

     _The Necronomicon_ by "Simon," Avon Books, 1977.
          Purported ritual book of great efficacy.  Generally regarded as
          fiction interspersed with translations of Mesopotamian texts.
          Mileage may vary, depending on how seriously you take babble.
          This is included mainly because of its availablity and
          popularity; I actually strongly recommend that you do _not_
          buy this. Much information on books of this name is available
          in the Necronomicon FAQ written by Kendrick Chua, allegedly
          archived at io.com & alt.horror.cthulhu.

     _The Necronomicon_ edited by George Hay 1978.
          This is a more "Lovecraftian" Necronomicon which closely follows
          what Lovecraft said was contained in the famous book of the Mad
          Arab. It is, of course, fiction, but much more fun than the Avon
          book in that it does not take itself so seriously. Scoob publishing
          is supposed to have a R'lyeh text in the works as a sequel to this.

     _TheSaltLick_
          Surreal, strange website put together by Church of Satan artist
	  Timothy Patrick Butler: http://www.weirdart.com
	  
     _Rants & Incendiary Tracts_ (ed by) Bob Black & Adam Parfrey
          Similar to apocalypse culture, with weird short bits by various
          authors (including LaVey).

(Biblical debunking)
     _Who Wrote the Bible?_, by Richard Elliott Friedman, Harper & Row,
     1987.
          A biblical scholar attempts to answer the question of the title,
          and in the process comes up with some interesting reasons for
          events in _The Bible_ (why does Moses have horns? Why the scene
          with the golden calf?). An interesting read, and possibly
          amusing for the cynic.

     _The Dead Sea Scrolls_
          There are many good books on this subject for those who need to
          debunk Christianity historically as well as philosophically.
          Among them:

          _Dead Sea Scrolls & the Bible_ by Roland E. Murphy (a Roman
          Catholic at that) 1968

          _A Crack in the Jar; What ancient Jewish Documents tell
          us about the New Testament_ by Niel Fujita (also a
          Christian scholar) 1986

          _The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian Myth_ by John
          Allegro (one of the original Dead Sea Scholars) 1984

          Note than all of the above scholars are of the old school of
          scroll study.  While all do a good job of debunking Christianity,
          the latest generation of scholarly works is even more damning.

     _Testament_ by John Romer (Henry Holt, NY 1988)
          Considered an excellent and well balanced work on Biblical history
          -also a PBS mini-series available on video cassette.
