This volume is a compendium of two rare works by Crowley: his poetry collection White Stains, as well as a pornographic novella entitled The Nameless Novel. White Stains is comparable to "The Flowers of Evil", with two major differences. The verse is much less fluid and rather dry in comparison. What the work lacks in form, it supplements with content. Crowley goes far beyond Baudelaire's allusions to homosexuality and satanism, also touching on coprophilia, necrophilia, urophagia, and bestiality. The Nameless Novel focuses even more heavily on bizarre sexual fetishism, to a point where it is outrageously hyperbolic and almost humorous. Scenes are no doubt taken to extremes for no other purpose than to shock the reader. It is the sexual imagery of de Sade multiplied ten fold, with heavy emphasis on satire and mockery (clergyman and queens are shown as nothing more than the most fanatical perverts). The book will hold interest for Crowley aficionados or seekers of ribald Victorian smut, but it is not something you will want to read multiple times or on a full stomach.

White Stains remains Aleister Crowley's most infamous work, his attempt at taking the Satanic/erotic decadencee of Baudelaire and ramping it up to new extremes of degradation, sexual depravity and demonic frenzy. Revelling in filth, Crowley includes odes to sodomy, fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus, rape, lesbianism, impotence, venereal disease, bestiality, sado-masochism, coprophilia, necrophila, blasphemy and devil-worship in this staggering, over-the-top compendium of eros and evil.This first US edition of White Stains also includes Crowley's rare later volume, The Nameless Novel (1904), a rampant pornographic novella written to stimulate and amuse his wife.With a new introduction by Crowley scholar D M Mitchell, the book is a classic document of fin-de-siècle erotica, as well as a unique compendium of Crowley's most outrageous and notorious literary output.New edition with new cover. First in a new series, Forbidden Erotic Classics, dedicated to literary works which were censored, suppressed or even prosecuted upon their original publication.
