  Before there was A Cry in the Moon’s Light . . . 
  This is the story of a beautiful peasant girl and a farm boy who fall in love in the South of France, years before she becomes mi Lady, the Duchess of Harcourt and he becomes . . . something else. It is also the story of William de Parlimae, their childhood companion, whose path takes a different turn. 
  As children, the three played together. But when the Lord’s son embarks on an important mission with his two closest friends, they find that they’ve stepped past the threshold of youth and into a long, dark night filled with nightmares, cruelty, and vicious beasts. 
  In the darkness, the two lovers seek refuge at an abandoned village deep in the Dark Forest. But will the moon’s light be enough for them to tell friend from enemy, poison from perfume, and the stuff of dreams from the horrors around them?

  What happens beyond the end of time? 
  In Munderworld, time has become meaningless. With the world of po gone, there isn’t much for many to do beyond endure their existence. Though there is one person, a jester from a bygone age, who chooses to spend his time high in the mountains looking at the stars. 
  He and his friend, a small and chatty imp called Fiddle, decide on some antics to pass the time and end up angering a celestial entity. After barely escaping with their lives, Cynkz is given brief glimpses of an odd vision. Unsure of what to make of it, he decides it is a good enough reason as any to venture down through the depths of Munderworld and see if they can find an audience with the enigmatic Munder King–the lord of darkness, he who created Munderworld (and has not been seen or heard of for eons). 
  A simple, carefree decision to seek adventure soon turns into a series of growing perils as the dynamic duo meet many others just trying to get by. Cynkz’s own curiosities become entwined with the goals and wishes of others as his own resolve gets tested the further down they go.

  The Testament of Magdalen Blair...

  Edward Alexander Crowley was born on 12th October 1875 to wealthy parents in Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. 
   
  He was educated at Malvern College, Tonbridge School, Eastbourne College and finally Trinity College, Cambridge where he focused on his passions of mountaineering and poetry and published several volumes. 
   
  Life for Crowley was to abandon his parents’ Christian faith and instead to inject himself into Western esotericism.  In 1898, he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and was trained in ceremonial magic before studying both Hindu and Buddhist practices in India. 
   
  On his Egyptian honeymoon in 1904 he claimed contact with an entity―Aiwass―who gave him the sacred Book of the Law which served as the basis for the Thelema religion where he identified as its prophet.  During the Great War, which he spent in the United States, he claimed to be working for British Intelligence but by the 1920s he had decamped to pursue a libertine lifestyle in Sicily, and in the ensuing scandals was evicted by the Italian Government. 
   
  He divided the following two decades between France, Germany, and England, and the continuing promotion of Thelema. 
   
  During his life he gained widespread notoriety for his drug use, his bisexuality, and his alarming views on society.  In short, polite society frowned on his ways, his thoughts and his influence but to many others his stance had much of value.  Even after death he was a darling for the 60’s counterculture but his influence has since waned.   
   
  His literary works were both prolific and covered many topics.  In the early part of his career he published many poetry books, even plays, before his darker and more forceful works came to dominate his output. 
   
  Aleister Crowley died on 1st December 1947 at Hastings in England. He was 72.
