A BIZARRE MAGICK BIBLIOGRAPHY
by JOE LANTIERE

 

 

This bibliography consists of items which, in my opinion, pertain to bizarre magick (including séance work). All items are concerned with visual, physical manifestations.

There are NO items on strictly "mind reading," psychic readings, "cold reading" (even though I had one published, too), mentalism, ESP or hypnotism on this list (but other books already listed here may contain material on those subjects). Books on cold readings, ESP, etc. deal with effects which do NOT cause visual, physical manifestations and therefore are not listed.

There are also no books on metaphysics or horror literature listed here. Although this list is by no means complete (what list is?), I have separated it into several different categories for your convenience. Either I own or have seen all the items, or they were recommended by other bizarrists.

I started work on this list in 1999 and published it my own website in 2000. Because of my work and performing schedules, the last time I had updated it was in June of 2001. In August 2004, I donated all this work to DragonSkull and shortly afterwards removed it from my site. It is hoped that my work will be preserved and greatly expanded upon.

Joe Lantiere.
