What's Coming Up



 Recently I was interviewed for a 4-part documentary on Aleister Crowley to be broadcast on German radio next year. More details about how to listen to it when I get them. I took the interviewer up to the site of Netherwood for added 'atmosphere' - it was suitably grey and overcast. Gary Lachman is also one of the  interviewees. 

My latest book will, I hope go to the printers in August to be published in September when there will be a series of promotional events in London and Hastings - and elsewhere if anyone wants me. I don't get as many requests to do talks as I used to, although I don't mind as I have less energy these days.

The book has taken more than 3 years and now runs to over 600 pages, which makes it the longest I've written. It's got quite a few illustrations and I suppose fits in with the Fu Manchu book I did with Strange Attractor a few years ago rather than my historical works. Aleister Crowley gets a chapter to himself as a bit of a digression from the main theme which is about popular culture. I've watched a huge number of films for this project which was mostly fun.

Last shout out for Darren Coffield's Queens of Bohemia event at Westminster Arts Library on 12 July.

Reserve a FREE place here. I'll be hosting.
