“The Fischer House was the scene of a vicious crime in the 1920s - a crime which still resonates as the century turns. At its heart was a beautiful, enigmatic woman called Pandora Gibson-Hoare, a photographer of genius whose only legacy is a handful of photographs and the clues to a mystery.“

While we are on the subject @Bookwomble this is a Crowley that‘s has been sitting unread on my shelves since December of 2015.As a bookseller we were always told books by Crowley are among the most stolen.I guess if you are planning to practice dark arts book theft is pretty minor league.Bibles get stolen a lot as well , is the logic there forgiveness?😆🤷♀️🤔
I bought this in August 1986, started reading its 960 pages, and got about 10% of the way into it then put it down for 35 years. It just sprang to my notice today that somehow over the intervening period I've managed to not catalogue it. Well, I have now, and wonder whether I might read it this year 🤔
(Yes, Crowley *has* drawn a knob on his own head in the self-portrait on the cover 🍆)
A book for Instagram haha. I thought I‘d give a collection of Crowley writing a go, but while it might look good on my bookshelf to me it‘s impenetrable, exceedingly trite.
pickOne of the greatest of its kind in the early 1900s
Well, it's October. Let's get weird.
