Aleister Crowley: The Beast Demystified
"An astonishing book ... Crowley was one of the most infamous figures of the first half of the twentieth century" Daily Mail "Hutchinson means what he says about demystifying his subject - by the biography's end there's not a stone left unturned" The Scotsman "A level-headed reappraisal of a man whose fantasies were fuelled as much by self-publicity as by any real demonic contact " Scotland on Sunday "Well informed and cool-headed ... one can see that Crowley's own words would be of little use in conveying the facts of his life, which Hutchinson does admirably" New York Times
