I've just finished reading I, Lucifer for the one millionth time and think it's the greatest book ever written.
Just wandering what everybody else thinks of this book and their own personal favourites.

😕 just the name ... I , Lucifer ... it's kinda sad to say but it's non-adult (to me) all this satan , belial , moloch , lucifer , behemoth , baphomed , (call it how you want ) thing is making me annoyed you know . I mean everyone claims himself as a satanist and actually no any satanist can be a satanist . Caus to be a satanist you have to know who's Satan and once you know who Satan is you won't want to call yourself a Satanist . Now I respect the choice of everyone but some are saying : I believe in lucifer but not in God (and Satan asks to stay away from God , why do you think he asks this ? not for fun I guess) . Children of 13-14 years old call themselves satanists to shock others and such but now ... What's the need ? It's just a simple question : what does it do to you , does it makes you stronger are something like that ?

Anyway , the best book to me is "The psychic Vampire Codex"

Don't know the "I, Lucifer" book either unfortunately, but if i can say one thing for sure, it's that the "Psychic Vampire Codex" is written not by the devil, but one of his many minions.

Michelle Belanger lays great stress on two things: that she's a renowned vampirism expert and that she wrote that book. Now what a happy coincidence that both facts back up each other respectively! So while i consider it to be a good thing that people share their views and information i highly doubt that they should use it as a publicity stunt wherever they show up. Or as a tool to monopolize their idea among others - which is the point where science ends and money making begins.
So for me it's a nice work of fiction you can get on amazon for 15 bucks if you manage to wade through the negative comments till you reached the buy button, but i'd take it with a grain of salt.

Catherine Ramsland's book "Piercing the Darkness" is another vampirism book that blends reality with fiction - in so far that the premise is a journalist searching for another journalist who vanished while researching on the vampire subculture. Unfortunately the main story is pretty quickly abandoned in the course of the book, when the author gets ever more fascinated with the culture and at some point just forgot about the lost girl. Still i like the way of portraying the culture and people.

Unfortunately there are also some facts in the book i couldn't back up from my european quarters, for example the whole episode about french vampires. On the other hand i met people described in the book, so even if parts might be fiction, she did make her homework.

I, Lucifer isnt what you think it is. It's not a book about someone claiming to be a satanist. It's a work of fiction wirtten by a guy called Glen Duncan.
The story is in the first person from the perspective of the devil. In it he's given one last chance at redemption. If he can live out a sinless life on earth as a mortal, he gets back into heaven when he dies.
Of course, there's no chance of him accepting the deal, but he does negotiate a trial period: one month on earth in the body of writer that killed himself.
During the next month Lucifer takes the chance to set the biblical record straight, to let us know just what it's like being him.
But as he writes he comes to find that neither describing nor living are as straight forward as they seem. He's beset by distractions and all the shoks the flesh is heir to.

It's interesting to read another point of view and work your way through Glen Duncan's logic, how the devil seems so convincing.

Take the crucifixtion for example. I dont want to give too much away but the bible tells us the devil wanted the crucifixtion to happen. But Lucifer tells us something different, he tells us that since the crucifixtion was a fullfilment of the old testement proficies, it makes no sense that he'd want it to happen, after all, he is meant to be the advisery to god, so why would he chose to go along with the plans.

In some places it gets a little complex and hard to follow, and there's no real conclusion, but if you've ever wandered what the devil real thinks about god and what he does for a living, give it a read, you wont be disapointed.

There are plenty of other books that've rocked my world: the Necroscope books, the 120 days of sodom, Ivirn Welsh' Filth, but i'd like to know what you guys are into.

Poe has a way of painting the darkness in wonderful clouers. He tells us that darkness is in all of us, regardless of ubringing and class.
There are other writters like that, writers that can make you feel almost ashamed for enjoying their work.
If any of you guys know writters like that then let me know.
