Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

Modern Satanism

Anatomy of a Radical Subculture

by Chris Mathews

A critical study of LaVeyan Satanism and its subcultural milieu. Mathews examines the Church of Satan's ideas, influences such as Ayn Rand and Nietzsche, internet Satanism and the movement's relation to popular culture, arguing that much of it is more aesthetic posture than coherent philosophy. Provocative and sometimes polemical, it offers a counterpoint to more sympathetic academic accounts.
