Demons and Demon-ettes

 

Hubert Selby Jr was the American author who knew the most about the demonic realms and how and where it gained entry

Shows how stimulants Benzedrine/meth and cocaine throw open the door to possession and attract other demonic forces.

 

>His first two novels (Last Exit to Brooklyn and The Room) were brutal, unforgiving takes on the human condition, chartering addiction and obsession in its many uncomfortable forms. Selbyโ€™s third novel,The Demon, is often overlooked in favor of its contemporaries but it is perhaps one of his most gripping reads.

 

What Selby crafts isnโ€™t just a tragedy, but an in-depth and deeply disturbing case study on the emerging pathology of a sociopath, whose decisions cannot be explained by external causes, but by something much more sinister residing within.

 

Selby charts the chaotic downfall of Harry White, a successful young man at an undisclosed corporation, who spends much of his free time sleeping with married women in a calculated game โ€“ that is until this no longer satisfies him and Harry becomes increasingly more brazen.
