Mark Mirabello se penche sur l'histoire "hors-la-loi" qui réside aux frontières et aux margens de la civilisation humaine. Son œuvre étendue explore le surnaturel, les facettes non naturelles de la nature humaine et le monde quotidien, souvent à travers le prisme de la rébellion et de la résistance contre l'autorité. L'expertise de Mirabello réside dans l'examen des religions alternatives, des sociétés secrètes et de l'histoire intellectuelle, avec une approche qui encourage à remettre en question les récits officiels. Ses écrits offrent aux lecteurs un aperçu captivant des aspects cachés et souvent négligés de l'expérience et de l'histoire humaines.
This is a book about freedom. Written for intellectual swashbucklers -- men and women who are radicals in politics and infidels in religion -- warriors who hammer the stake of fear into the heart of tyranny -- this volume belongs in select book collections, between the black magic and the pornography texts.
In this engaging and original book Abel explains the rise to prominence in Western Music of a new rhythm: Groove.
"They raped me and ate my friend alive." Thus starts this work of erotic horror fiction filled with 'sacrilege, blasphemy, and crime' -- written in a style that is part H P Lovecraft, part Marquis de Sade, and part Octave Mirbeau -- "The Cannibal Within" is literally 'wet with sin, slippery with blood, and slimy with fornication.' The novel's central character is part Lara Croft part Sarah Connor. She/We has a choice: the evil may be patiently borne or savagely resisted. We may think we are special -- holy, honoured, valued -- God's chosen primates -- but that is a fraud. The dupes of superhuman forces, we are misfits and abominations. We have no higher purpose -- no saviour god died for our sins--we exist, only because our masters are infatuated with our meat.
A grand survey of the world's death and afterlife traditions throughout history.
