#la~bas

Possibly the finest novel ever written for its insights in the search for the dark nature of humanity and the Unholy Rites of Satanism and Devil Worship, unfortunately Huysmans novels are always tinged with that side of himself which was of Catholic orientation ~ still he had an aspect which craved knowledge of the Dark Side and was dissatisfied with the mundane in life.

Some people say it is too littered with intellectual conversations of no importance, I disagree, La~Bas is written to probe the mind!
