Book of Lies

Disinformation s "wicked warlock" Richard Metzger gathers an unprecedented cabal of modern occultists, -magicians, and forward thinkers in the latest in the series of the large format Disinformation Guides. Just as Russ Kick s three Guides focusing on secrets and lies from the mainstream media, government, and other establishment institutions rethought what a political science book could look like and whom it would appeal to, "Book of Lies" redefines occult anthologies, packaging and presenting a huge array of magical essays for a pop culture audience.
