The Household Gods — Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley is known today especially as an occultist, spy, chess master, professional mountain climber, and sexual revolutionary. However, Crowley, who used to be called "the wickedest man in the world" by his adversaries, gained more notoriety during his lifetime as an author of fiction, including plays, poems, and later novels, most of which have not yet received the attention they deserve. "The Household," a one-act comedy that makes readers roar with laughter, is eaxctly one of those masterpieces by this important Bristish writer that needs to be rediscovered by contemporary readers.
