One of privileged few who spent time with the “Black Pope” in the last decade of his life, Carl Abrahamsson met Anton LaVey in 1989, sparking an “infernally” empowering friendship. In his new  book on LaVey - "Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan" - Abrahamsson explores what LaVey was really about, where he came from, and how he shaped the esoteric landscape of the 1960s.
