Summary:

[Crowley's] two novels carry the message of Thelema. The characters and themes in the books were imagined and created to dramatize and illustrate its practice. “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law; Love is the law, love under will.” A short phrase with monumental import. In Diary of a Drug Fiend, Crowley shows its power to bring two hopeless addicts out of a pit of hell. In Moonchild, he demonstrates the fate of those who would misinterpret its meaning and be seduced by the temptations of Black Magick. Whether intended or not, The Two Novels of Aleister Crowley provide a more compelling case for his new religion than his other works ever could. --From back cover.
