Reviews
"Entrancing and fascinating -- an absolute must-read." -- Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl, "In Born With a Tail , Doug Brod does a fantastic job digging deep into LaVey's life and telling a remarkably rounded story that unfolds in such a way that never loses the reader's attention, with just the right amount of skepticism mixed with light admiration for what he was able to accomplish in his lifetime... Born With A Tail is a fast read owing greatly to Brod's entertaining, conversational narration. The author also does a commendable job of telling LaVey's fascinating story without coming off too cynical or too fawning while still covering all aspects of the figure who was able to become a modern-day boogieman to many while serving as a highly entertaining talk show guest to many others."-- Glide Magazine, "What an entertaining, bizarre, sometimes delightful, sometimes disturbing story. Thank you, Doug Brod, for this great book about an overlooked character in America's gloriously weird history." -- A.J. Jacobs, author of My Year of Living Constitutionally

Synopsis
A provocative, irreverent biography of Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, BORN WITH A TAIL chronicles a time when Americans welcomed a macabre showman into their living rooms via The Tonight Show , before a ginned-up hysteria known as the Satanic Panic would put a target on his shiny, shaven head . When Anton LaVey burst onto the San Francisco scene right before the Summer of Love, he parlayed his eerie obsessions into a philosophy and lifestyle that capitalized on a New Age rage. With his signature cape, horn-studded hood, and Ming the Merciless beard, LaVey was a media-savvy provocateur who took what he did seriously, but was always in on the joke. From a spooky old house on an otherwise unremarkable street, he founded the Church of Satan, where young women squirmed nude on the mantel of his ritual chamber as he delivered a doctrine of self-deification and indulgence that combined the writings of Ayn Rand, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Aleister Crowley with the pulpy fictions of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. Later, his bestselling book The Satanic Bible (still in print since 1969) struck an ominous chord with both the hip and the alienated--the fringe dwellers who were goth before there were goths. But LaVey's influence could be felt far beyond his flock, namely in the nightmarish and supernatural entertainment that dominated pop culture in the 1970s and continues to make an impact today. He was a musical prodigy who attracted a cluster of stars into his orbit, including Jayne Mansfield and Sammy Davis Jr. But living like a real-life Gomez Addams, complete with a full-grown pet lion, came at an awful price. Deeply researched and featuring dozens of new interviews, as well as recently unearthed personal correspondence and church records, BORN WITH A TAIL: The Devilish Life and Wicked Times of Anton Szandor LaVey, Founder of the Church of Satan separates the facts from the fabrications of this uniquely American character's extraordinary life.
