Summary: Interesting, but way too expensive
Comment: FIrst of all, I bought this book for the magickal rituals contained in it. There are only about half a dozen of them, and they require quite a bit of effort on your behalf. One calls for making a model head. Another calls for creating a ring with silver and bronze. Another is making a pendant. If you're not a real hardcore magick practioner, this is going to require a bit more effort than you're used to. On a good note, these are intense rituals, and quite interesting. The problem is that this book usually goes for a steep price. Most of it is various stories or commentaries written by the editor about various old cults and stuff like that. He connects Lovecraft and Crowley to weird theories and history, which is fun to read, but not worth the price. Also, you can find the spells online, so this might be a complete waste of your time and money if you're just looking for those.

Summary: Read it for the Intro, not the Text
Comment: As a followup to the Necronomicon put out by the same group, I found the text to be not all that interesting. I feel, even for those interested in experimenting with the rituals from a Chaos standpoint would be better served by the previous work or the Simon version. However, I thoroughly enjoyed Colin Wilson's introduction and would recommend this book for that reason alone. George Hay's piece was not as good as his contributuion to the previously mentioned Necronomicon, but was not bad.
